Hopefully volcanologists, meteorologists & expert metalurgists are looking into this.
IF you smell sulphur, Keep in as much as possible especially kids& babies!
The smoke from Iceland has alot of aluminium in it
A potential win,win,win,win,win situ though if this wakes the world up to the geothermal power in iceland that could potentially power the whole of europe & alleviate volcanic activity if done safely
The smoke from Iceland has alot of aluminium in it, POWER TO UK WAS PLANNED IN 1980'S FROM GEOTHERMAL acording to friends RIP from iceland & IF DONE safely SHOULD HELP ALLEVIATE VOLCANOES& SEISMIC PROBLEMS. Ive had to work outside alot recently& I smelt SULPHUROUS SMOKE IN WALES, EVEN A BASIC MASK WILL HELP OR BANDANA, if you smell sulphur.
There wasnt any info on this on scroogle or google, so medics & or government arent saying much at moment,most likely again due to the false economy.
article in mirror says there is aluminium in the ash, which makes sense with the amount of baurite the ore for aluminium in Iceland.Aluminium is known to be vdangerous for lungs as any welder can testify.

Dr WHO advices people with asthma& respiratory to stay in,
NOTHING IN ARTICLES ON MOST NEWSITES ABOUT BABIES& CHILDREN,
KEEP THEM IN!!!
WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein. "These particles when inhaled can reach the peripheral regions of ... the lungs and can cause problems."
Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major health effect. Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution.

Volcanic ash is formed from explosive eruptions. Particles as hard as a knife blade range in size from as small as 0.001 millimeters (1/25,000 inch) to 2 millimeters (1/12 inch), the Geological Survey says.

AVOID HIGH ALTITUDES SAYS Durham University volcanologist Dr Dougal Jerram
& YOURS TRUELLY SMELT SUPLHUR IN TRAVELS ONLY WHEN TRAVELLING AROUND SNOWDONIAN MOUNTAINS & WALES
micrometer; micro is one millionth of a metre,1×10−6 m or equivalently one thousandth of a mm or one thousand nanometres.
A strand of human hair is about 100 µm wide.[2] Red blood cells are approx. 8 µm in diameter.[2]
