Abstract:
<strong>Abstract:</strong> This study investigates the resettlement initiatives for survivors of the Lake Nyos disaster in Menchum Division, Northwest Cameroon, following the catastrophic gas eruption of 1986. It posits that while multiple local, national, and international efforts were mobilized to aid the displaced population, these resettlement interventions were predominantly insufficient and poorly executed. The analysis further argues that the resettled communities&rsquo; aspirations and needs remain unmet, primarily due to government actions that lacked responsiveness to local realities

Abstract:
The possibility of a repetition of the limnological catastrophe in the Black Sea is considered. It is shown that, in contrast to the volcanic lakes of Africa Nyos and Manun, where limnological catastrophes occurred in the 1980s, the concentration of dissolved gases in deep waters is significantly less than the saturation value. This eliminates the mechanism of so called “eruption” of carbon dioxide such as gas lift. However, on a smaller scale, significant methane releases are possible during strong eruptions of underwater mud volcanoes. The mechanism for the release of carbon dioxide from the

Abstract:
This paper reviews deaths in which there is an environment that is low in oxygen and/or has elevated levels of carbon dioxide. These deaths present problems to autopsy pathologists, as the autopsy is typically negative and postmortem toxicology cannot be used to detect the effects of hypoxia and raised levels of carbon dioxide. Deaths from hypoxia and raised carbon dioxide may be encountered in work-and nonwork-related environments. Typically these are accidents, but suicides may be encountered and criminal charges may follow these events. Environments that have been associated with these even

Abstract:
Situated at the northern flank of the Oku Massif, Lake Nyos crater epitomizes landscape features originating from volcanic explosions during the Quaternary. The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL), to which it belongs, constitutes the most active volcanic region in Cameroon. In 1986, an outgas explosion occurred from beneath the lake and killed 1746 people in several neighbouring villages. The event influenced a radial area of 25 to 40 km wide, particularly in eastern and western direction. This was mainly due to: (1) the rugged nature of the landscape (fault fields), which enabled the heavier gas to

The main cause of catastrophes must be considered the activation of endogenous processes occurring in the mantle and the tectonosphere of the Earth.

The sudden, catastrophic release of gas from Lake Nyos on 21 August 1986 caused the deaths of at least 1700 people in the northwest area of Cameroon, West Africa. Chemical, isotopic, geologic, and medical evidence support the hypotheses that (i) the bulk of gas released was carbon dioxide that had been stored in the lake's hypolimnion, (ii) the victims exposed to the gas cloud died of carbon dioxide asphyxiation, (iii) the carbon dioxide was derived from magmatic sources, and (iv) there was no significant, direct volcanic activity involved.
