Elevated trace element output in urine following acute volcanic gas exposure

Biological monitoring of exposure to gases and respirable particles is common in industry, when urine or blood samples are analysed for elevated levels of various trace elements, but this is almost unheard of in volcanology. In this work, 10 volunteers undertook 20 min of acute gas exposure downwind...
