I'm really just trying to make sure that those with an open mind are aware of the distinction between the geothermal emissions - which can amount to a nuisance - and the volcanic emissions, which are chemically different, occur at far higher rates (which the original post pointed out), and, with chronic exposure, can do some serious harm to the lung function of sensitive populations...

Yo geochem, I know to you it's whining.. but to them it's concern. And, considering the value of your post, i.e. to provide an educational insight, don't you think it would be much more effective if you were to phase it in terms of respect rather than otherwise, especially when you consider it's them you're trying to educate?
