The Department of Environment has continually monitored the air quality in Fiji following the volcanic eruption in Tonga over the weekend.
Based on the satellite image data, the Department confirms that the Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) concentration in the atmosphere has increased overnight which could result in acidic rainfall over the Fiji group.
As previously advised, the Department of Environment is requesting that members of the public cover all household water tanks and stay indoors in the event of rain due to the risk of acid rain.
