EU sees no health concerns for now over ash cloud

Source: Reuters - Tue 20th Apr 2010

The European Commission is checking whether the volcanic ash cloud over Europe could have any impact on people's health but has no concerns for now, a spokesman said on Monday.

"We are checking this issue. At the time being there is no concern" a spokesman for the European Union executive told a news briefing.

The World Health Organization said last week people with breathing problems could be harmed by the cloud of ash that was hurled into the atmosphere by an Icelandic volcano.

The United Nations agency said the fine particles of ash were not harmful as long as they remained into the upper atmosphere but could be more problematic if they fell to earth.
