'Stay inside': Health chiefs' extraordinary warning as volcanic ash begins to fall on parts of Britain
People have been told to stay indoors if ash from the volcanic eruption in Iceland begins to settle on the ground in an extraordinary warning from health chiefs.
Officials from the World Health Organisation (WHO) said they did not know the exact risks presented by the cloud, which is currently moving south across the UK.
But David Epstein, a spokesman for the UN agency, said the microscopic ash is potentially dangerous to people if it starts to 'settle' on the earth.
'We're very concerned about it,' he added. 'These particles when inhaled can reach the peripheral regions of the lungs and can cause problems - especially for people with asthma or respiratory problems.'
Mr Epstein said for the most part the cloud remained high in the atmosphere. 'But when they do settle ... we would recommend that people stay indoors as much as possible.'
'Those who venture outside might want to consider a mask.'
British health officials have limited themselves to less strident advice, instead stating that only people with breathing difficulties should stay inside if the ash settles.

Dust has fallen in northern parts of Britain, including Shetland and Aberdeen, and is expected to progress southwards later today.
It has already blanketed the ground in parts of rural southern Iceland. The ash is not toxic.

The Health Protection Agency (HPA) said the ash should not cause serious harm but could cause irritation, particularly to those with respiratory conditions.
