Abstract

The Cl, F, SO₂ contents and Cl/F and Cl/SO₄ ratios in Central American volcanic gases are examined. 10³−10⁵ tons SO₂ per day are given off during eruptions and 10² when a prominent vapor cloud persists between eruptive periods. Data regarding Cl and F and SO₄ from leachates, condensates, and incrustations are compared. Our data suggest circumpacific volcanoes are SO₂ poor relative to Cl and may be F poor although F is higher in basaltic Central American volcanoes than others.
