The Met Office has stated that the sulphur dioxide plume from the Icelandic volcano is 'high in the atmosphere' and poses minimal risk to air quality in the UK.
Currently, the effects of the toxic gas cloud remain localized, primarily affecting areas like London, Norwich, and Hull, but there’s no immediate threat to public health.
Despite the sulphur dioxide cloud being present, health concerns for the UK population are low, with reported symptoms including sore throat, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
Although the volcanic eruption in Iceland is significant, the Met Office assures that the gas cloud will have little impact on the ground-level air quality in the UK.
