Currently one can only really accurately sieve to 63 um but finding out if volcanic ash is respirable (< 4 um) is critical for health hazard assessment. The formula allows rapid assessment using very basic equipment. The paper can be seen at

The meeting discussed developing a stronger framework for international cooperation, and the state of the various international projects within Indonesia. WOVO warmly endorses CVGHM's initiative and is happy to publicise similar initiatives around the world.
