Czech Rep, Oct 26 (BD) – A post published on Monday by the Czech Meteorological Institute (CHMI) states that the Czech Republic need not worry about the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, which began on September 19th.

Data from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) institute, which monitors the concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the air, show that although there has been a general increase in SO2, including in the Czech Republic, this has not reached the feared levels of air pollution.

The CAMS institute, which monitors the activity of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, says that in the next five days there will be an increase in the concentration of sulfur dioxide in Czech soil, but still below the limit.
