IVHHN - The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network

The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network (IVHHN) is an umbrella organisation for all research and information on volcanic health hazards. IVHHN currently involves 31 expert members from 25 international institutions as well as corresponding members who are signed up to the mailing list. Expert members of IVHHN work in diverse scientific disciplines such as volcanology, epidemiology, toxicology, public health and physical chemistry with a common aim of trying to determine the health effects of volcanic emissions, in particular the health hazard of inhaling volcanic ash and gas. IVHHN was launched in 2003 and is an IAVCEI Commission.
