Just watched the news and they were saying it's only a problem in the upper atmosphere

I guess details will come out soon.

My dad's off to Iceland to look after it soon

Quite a lot I'm afraid but don't worry the kit check has been amended and you'll be fine so long as you carry one of these.....

Excellent. Glad I kept my trusty S30 respirator. Hate it when they fill up with sweat though and you can't see out of the eye-pieces.
