People in Britain have been urged to remain indoors as a corrosive sulphur dioxide (SO2) cloud, originating from recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland, engulfs the UK. The massive acidic gas cloud is expected to cover the entire country by 4 am SO2, a harmful byproduct of volcanic activity, as well as the combustion of coal and crude oil, poses significant health risks. Inhaling SO2 can cause severe respiratory issues, including sore throats, coughing, runny noses, and burning eyes. Prolonged exposure is particularly dangerous for individuals with asthma and chronic bronchitis. Authorities have issued a health alert, warning residents to avoid outdoor activities and keep windows closed to minimise exposure to the toxic gas.
