Indonesian Agency Rules Out Volcanic Gas in Family's Glamping Deaths

Indonesian authorities have ruled out volcanic gas as the cause of death for a family of four who died while camping in Temanggung, Central Java. The Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources conducted field checks and gas concentration measurements at the Posong tourist site.

Their findings indicated no dangerous volcanic gases from Mount Sindoro or natural gases were present. Measurements showed carbon dioxide levels at 0.03 percent, while hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide were at 0 ppm. The agency stated that Mount Sindoro is at its normal activity level (Level I).
