The toxic sulphur dioxide gas which had covered the skies of the United Kingdom on Saturday morning (Aug&nbsp;24) will soon make a comeback and cover some parts of the country on Tuesday (Aug&nbsp;27) and Wednesday (Aug&nbsp;28), according to a report published by The Daily Mail.

On Saturday (Aug&nbsp;24), the poisonous gas filled the skies of the country after it was released during a volcanic eruption in Iceland on Thursday (Aug&nbsp;22).

Later, some parts of the toxic cloud floated across parts of Europe while some were reported hovering above the Scottish Highlands early morning on Monday (Aug&nbsp;26).

The experts have now predicted that another layer of this toxic gas will come back into the United Kingdom and cover the skies of the Midlands and the south on Tuesday (Aug&nbsp;27) and Wednesday (Aug&nbsp;28).

<h2>When will toxic gas again fill the skies of the UK?</h2>

The second cloud of sulphur dioxide (SO2) will approach the country at around 6 am (local time) on Tuesday and will spread across the lower and middle parts of the country. It is expected to get cleared by around 7 pm (local time) on Wednesday, according to the data gathered by Czech weather portal Windy.

SO2 is produced from crude oil or coal combustion, but volcanoes also produce it in huge quantities when they erupt.&nbsp;

People who inhale this gas can suffer from symptoms like a sore throat, coughing, a runny nose, burning eyes, tight lungs, and can face difficulty in&nbsp;breathing.

Some people can also suffer from asthma and chronic bronchitis due to&nbsp;direct exposure to SO2.

This gas, which was emitted from coal, led to the famous London&nbsp;smog in 1952 when thousands of respiratory-related deaths were recorded.

SO2, when combined with water vapour present in the earth's atmosphere, leads to the formation of acid rain.

Young children and elderly people, who are especially vulnerable to SO2 inhalation, were advised to avoid exposure to the gas and stay inside.

The&nbsp;Met Office had stated that it was "monitoring" the gas cloud&nbsp;and assured that it would have "little influence on ground-level air quality".
