A new study led by IVHHN Director Claire Horwell has concluded that the ash from the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull earlier this year does not have the potential to cause long-term respiratory health problems for Icelanders.

The UK Health Protection Agency have released a statement on the health hazard which can be viewed on their website.

Cities on Volcanoes 6 will take place at Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) in May-June 2010. There will be a session dedicated to volcanic health hazards and IVHHN will be holding a workshop at the conference too.
