Twenty-three earthquakes were detected around Bárðarbunga, the eruption site, last night. The biggest one measured 5,0. Seismic activity has decreased from last night, yet still remains high.
The amount of sulphur dioxide in air from the eruption site is still high. People in the east are encouraged to pay attention to the pollution. The danger to human health is mainly caused by sulphur dioxide (SO2). The most common symptoms are irritation in eyes, throat and respiratory tract and people can experience difficulties in breathing in high concentrations of SO2.
