EA monitoring impact of emissions from Hayli Gubbi Volcano in Ethiopia

Muscat: The Environment Authority (EA) is closely monitoring the developments due to emissions resulting from the eruption of the Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia, with a view to public health and air quality in the various governorates of the Sultanate.

The Authority, through 68 monitoring stations distributed across the governorates of the Sultanate, including 8 stations in Dhofar and 5 in Al Wusta, is continuously monitoring pollutant concentrations around the clock.

It also confirms that no increases in pollutant concentrations have been recorded so far within the Sultanate, and there are no indications that air quality has been affected by the volcanic emissions.

The public can follow the indicator in real time via the "Naqi" air quality monitoring platform. The competent authorities will continue monitoring, and any updates will be announced as necessary.
