Mt Pinatubu in 1991, this from Wiki
The effects of the eruption were felt worldwide. It ejected roughly 10 billion metric tonnes (10 cubic kilometres) of magma, and 20 million tons of
SO2, bringing vast quantities of minerals and metals to the surface environment. It injected large amounts of
aerosols into the
stratosphere—more than any eruption since that of
Krakatoa in 1883. Over the following months, the aerosols formed a global layer of
sulfuric acid haze. Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5
°C (0.9
°F), and
ozone depletion temporarily increased substantially.

A volcanolagist on the BBC radio said there is every possability of the volcano continuing spewing ash for anything upto six month
