Volcanic ash

16 April 2010

Health Protection Scotland is liaising closely with colleagues across the UK to monitor the movement of the plume of volcanic dust from the recent Icelandic eruption, which is currently within the atmosphere above the United Kingdom.

The probability of significant health effects in Scotland associated with the volcanic dust is thought to be relatively low.
