The eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in Iceland has disrupted air traffic over more than half of Europe, while people across northern Europe have already reported a strong sulphuric and acid smell in the air.
The World Health Organisation was yet to ascertain the health risks from this specific eruption, but once the clouds settle they could be dangerous, spokesperson Daniel Epstein said on April 16, as quoted by Reuters.
Eyjafjallajokull has a 2.5km-wide volcanic crater and lies under Iceland's fifth largest glacier. The eruption has thrown up a six-kilometre-high plume of ash and showed no signs of abating after 40 hours of activity.
