The Icelandic met office states that sulphor dioxide pollution from the Holuhraun eruption will be carried to the west and southwest of Iceland this afternoon, including the capital area. 

People may feel eye or throat irritation due to the pollution and in this case they are urged to stay indoors, shut their windows and turn up central heating. If asthma or other respiratory problems worsen people are advised to contact their local health centre.
