[Some light revisions] Why volcano fumes are dangerous to humans
===

Here are the changes that I made to get a better English translation.

1. Minimize passive sentences,
2. Changing non-standard words, for example: "younger siblings" to "children" or "you",
3. Change the wording, for example: "...which contains very much carbon dioxide" to "...which contains very high carbon dioxide"

| Revised  | Selain mengandung zat-zat kimia tersebut di atas, gas yang keluar saat gunung meletus juga mengandung serpihan kaca yang sangat kecil (mikro), yang hanya dapat dilihat menggunakan mikroskop (lihat foto di bawah ini). Tepiannya yang bergerigi tajam tentunya dapat melukai organ pernafasan manusia saat terhisap.                                                                                                                                                                                                  | **GT:** In addition to containing the chemicals mentioned above, the gas that comes out when a volcano erupts also contains very small (micro) glass flakes, which can only be seen using a microscope (see photo below).

| Original | Demikian anak-anak, bahayanya gas volkanik yang keluar saat gunung api meletus. Kalau kalian tinggal di sekitar gunung api yang aktif pastikan selalu menyimpan masker di rumah. Segera pakai masker itu bila terjadi bencana. Ikuti ayah dan ibu untuk segera mengungsi. Saat ini pemberitahuan adanya bencana atau gejala akan terjadi letusan gunung api disiarkan secara cepat oleh stasiun berita radio dan televisi. Semoga kita semua dihindarkan dari bencana itu.Terima kasih sudah membaca … :)               | Similarly, brothers and sisters, the danger of volcanic gas that comes out when a volcano erupts. If you live around an active volcano, always make sure you keep a mask at home. Immediately wear the mask when disaster strikes. Follow the father and mother to evacuate immediately. At this time the notification of a disaster or symptoms of a volcanic eruption will be broadcast quickly by radio and television news stations. May we all be avoided from the disaster.Thanks for reading … :)   |
