How long did it take for Pinatubo to get back to normal after the eruption?

Mount Pinatubo erupted in June 1991, one of the most significant volcanic eruptions of the 20th century. Recovery of the surrounding areas took several years, with the environment slowly stabilizing. By the mid-1990s, the immediate effects of the eruption had diminished, but full ecological recovery and return to normalcy in the region took over a decade, influenced by ongoing volcanic activity and environmental changes.
