Ash Poses More Risk For Animals Than Humans

"If the ash is finer than 10 microns in size it can penetrate quite deep into the lungs," Cambridge's Oppenheimer. So, he said, if the ash fall gets particularly thick, people should be advised to wear face masks or stay indoors.
Thorbjarnardottir said that there's no such advisory out yet, but farmers were told keep their livestock indoors so they don't ingest the falling ash. It could poison them.
Oppenheimer told us "when [volcanic] ash is traveling through the atmosphere and it mixes up with volcanic gases, it can carry toxic elements such as fluoride, and can contaminate water supplies and pastures." Also, grazing livestock can swallow toxic ash particles that land on food, so caring for the animals is an "immediate concern," he said. "It's not a good financial picture in Iceland anyways, so losing a lot of cattle would be bad news."
