Global News published this video item, entitled “La Palma volcano: Authorities testing for toxic gas after lava enters ocean” – below is their description.
Lava from the Cumbre Vieja volcano on Spain’s La Palma island coursed into the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday, releasing plumes of steam that could unleash toxic gas.
Teams from the Military Emergency Unit tested the air quality, and so far authorities said the air inland had not been contaminated.
Residents on the west coast had been told to seal doors and windows with tape and wet towels.
Since the eruption began on Sept. 19, lava has engulfed nearly 530 houses, as well as 1,200 land plots, mostly banana plantations
