Fine ash from the Campanian Ignimbrite super-eruption, ~ 40 ka, southern Italy: implications for dispersal mechanisms and health hazard

Abstract Super-eruptions disperse volcanic ash over vast areas, impacting the environment and human health. Fine ash, particularly its respirable fraction (< 4 µm), poses a significant health hazard by inhalation due to its high dispersal potential. Understanding the aerodynamic properties but al...
