Mount Agung with an altitude of 3.142 meters above sea level is located in Karangasem. This mountain is one of the active volcanoes in Indonesia. Some dangerous impacts caused by the eruption of Mount Agung are acid rain, earthquakes, lava/lava flow, landslides/mudflow, smoke from lava, pyroclastic, rain of volcanic ash, and rocks and also volcanic gas. One of them which is Rain of volcanic ash can cause blisters on the skin and eyes as well as respiratory irritation. For long-term effects can cause silicosis (lung disease resulting from dust) and chronic lung disease.
