High air pollution was detected yesterday in Mývatnssveit. The highest peak was
measured 1250 micrograms per cubic meter. The area likely affected by air pollution
from the eruptoin is now marked by Bárðardalur to the west to
Hólasandur/Merlakkaslétta platou in the east. This evening the affected area

ter equivalent of the accumulation of snow over the watershed of the cauldrons. It has
been estimated that flow from the cauldrons, in addition to the jökulhlaups, could be
2–5 m3 s 1 at maximum (Vatnaskil, 2005). It is possible that part of the sulfate-rich
groundwater from the glacier comes from the cauldrons
