Enviromental Dangers/Benefits

When Mt. Pelee erupts it emitts dangerous gases into the air along with ash cloudsas well. The damage to property in past eruptions was pretty bad. The pyroclastic flows basically destroyed everything in its path including houses, factories, crops, land, public buildings and anything else in the pyroclastic flows path. atahis just goes to show how deadly pyroclastic flows are. After Mt. Pelee erupted the soil wasnt able to grow anything on it fora months because of the deaddly lahars(mudslides) which came from the eruption, also all the ash from the ash clouds too a long time to clean up, which made it hard to use the soil for anything. Also all the gases in the air made it hard for people to go and clean up the destruction from the volcanic eruption because the gases were so deadly, that people didnt want to risk their lives. So people didnt go back to St. Pierre for a couple of weeks until the ash clouds cleared away.
