How much carbon dioxide was put out during the Mt St Helen's eruption?

The primary gas discharged by volcanoes is not CO2 by H2S, hydrogen sulfide. Currently Mt. St. Helens is Washington's top polluter, emitting about 100 tons of sulfur dioxide per day. Previously that distinction would have gone to one coal fired plant near Centralia, which emitted 200 tons of H2S per day until state regulators insisted on renovations which brought the emissions down below 30 tons per day.
The eruption released somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 tons of CO2. In contrast, humans emit about 30,000,000,000 tons of CO2 per year, or 150,000 times as much. According to the USGS, that is well over 100 times as much as all earth's volcanoes combined.

What is the most abundant gas released during a volcanic eruption?
When magma is formed, it is composed of water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The most abundant gas in magma is water vapor.
What gas is given off during a volcanic eruption?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide. Water vapor is the most abundant.

How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.
