This was the first time a population of a considerable size and density could be assessed following major volcanic activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis study provides the most robust evidence to date that exposure to a chemically-mature volcanic plume leads to increased use of a country\u2019s health care system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also emphasises that emissions from volcanoes are a region-wide issue, in this case potentially affecting the whole North Atlantic region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Holuhraun plume returned to Iceland, there was increased use of GPs and hospital emergency care units with regards to respiratory diseases. At the same time, there was a lack of public health advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recommend that future government responses to volcanic air pollution globally considers both the implications to health caused by the initial eruptions, but also those of the returning plumes with additional threats to health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The scientists said their work was particularly pertinent as last month lava burst through a crack in Iceland\u2019s Mount Fagradalsfjall in the first eruption of its type in more than 800 years.<\/p>\n<p>The research is published in the journal\u00a0<em>Nature Communications<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When\u00a0volcanoes\u00a0erupt, they can launch hundreds of millions of tonnes of dust,\u00a0ash\u00a0and\u00a0chemicals\u00a0into the sky.
