– The sulfur cloud hits Norway around four o’clock, plus or minus a few hours, says Heiko Klein, coordinator for emergency models at the Meteorological Institute. Klein tells VG that there are very low concentrations of sulfur dioxide that will hit Western Norway tonight. The concentrations must not be dangerous. – The sulfur cloud will not have any impact on human life, other than that you can smell it. It is more of a curiosity than a danger, says Klein to news. In April 2010, European aviation was affected by the eruption of the volcano Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland. The ash cloud stretched several kilometers into the atmosphere and the spread led to the entire airspace over Norway being closed on 15 April. – As the situation in Iceland is now, there is little risk that air traffic outside of Iceland will be affected, says Ira Schaug-Pettersen, senior inspector at the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority. Air traffic in Iceland may still be affected by this. The volcanic eruption in Iceland occurred near important infrastructure, such as the main road to the airport.

She emphasizes that I am well prepared in Norway. – We have a national group of experts who regularly practice sit-auctions like this.
