A continuous record of the fallout rate of 210Po versus that of 210Pb in northern Taiwan reveals that most of the 210Po was derived from pre-eruption gas emission of Philippines' Mayon volcano in the past two years. From this observation we suggest that, if a global network can be properly designed, it may be possible to employ 210Po anomaly as a precursor of volcano eruptions worldwide.Explosions; Particulate emissions; Polonium; Volcanoes; Global networks; Volcano eruptions; Atmospheric chemistry; anomaly; atmospheric chemistry; polonium; volcanic eruptionjournal article10.1029/2001gl0138562-s2.0-0036522269
