    1. Plumes of volcanic ash\u202f<\/span><\/b>can spread over the large areas of the sky,\u202f<\/span>reducing visibility<\/span><\/b>.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

    5. Carbon di oxide and fluorine gas<\/span><\/b>\u202fcan get collected in volcanic ash, and\u202f<\/span>can pollute the regional\u00a0environment,\u00a0<\/span><\/b>making it difficult for animals and\u00a0humans\u00a0to breathe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
