Volcanic pollution from the eruption in Holuhraun is expected southwest of the eruption site today (Tuesday). According to the Icelandic Met office tomorrow we can expect calm weather with light winds so the gas pollution might be felt in many places, mainly southwest of the eruption site before noon, but in the northeast and east in the afternoon.
