Pakistan's pollution crisis is worsening by the hour. So much so that toxic smog blanketing skies is now visible from space. Satellite imagery from NASA's worldview shows a vast, grey smog cloud stretching over Pakistan's Punjab province. According to health officials, 40,000 have sought treatment for respiratory issues. Moreover, UN has said the pollution crisis has its devastating impact on children and pregnant women. Watch this video to find out more.

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".

United Kingdom to soon get covered by toxic gas clouds again amid volcanic eruptions: Report

A massive cloud of toxic gas,&nbsp;released from Iceland's ongoing volcanic eruption, is moving across northern Europe.&nbsp;The scientists, who have been tracking the cloud, said that it is not likely to cause any serious health issues but warned that it may affect the ozone hole above the Arctic.

<h2>How did the volcano release sulfur dioxide?</h2>

An underground volcano erupted for the fourth time in Icealnd's Reykjanes Peninsula on March 16 opening up the largest fissure of the current eruption cycle and releasing a massive lava flow which narrowly stopped from flowing into the evacuated town of Grindavík.

Initially, the researchers feared that the lava could reach the sea and release a plume of hydrochloric acid which can be "life-threatening" to anyone who is living close to the coastline. However, the lava did not reach the shore.

But sulfur dioxide, which is a toxic and colourless gas and can be very dangerous if present in high concentrations, was released in the eruption.

The volcano spitted 110 pounds of sulfur dioxide every second on March 17, as per a statement from the Icelandic Met Office.&nbsp;

According to Iceland's Civil Protection, the workers in the Svartsengi power plant had to be evacuated because of high levels of the gas and locals were asked to remain inside.

Eventually, sulfur dioxide emissions decreased significantly, however, Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) data showed that the initial release of gas created a 3-mile-tall (5 kilometres) concentrated column which is moving towards other nations in northern Europe.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) is part of the European Union's Copernicus programme which has been tracking climate and weather changes with the use of satellite data.

The cloud of gas has already crossed the United Kingdom and is moving towards Scandinavia.

CAMS will be tracking the plume "although we don't expect there to be any impact on surface air quality or climate," said senior CAMS scientist Mark Parrington in a statement to Live Science.

"The impacts of the volcanic eruptions in Iceland in the atmosphere have not yet been so severe, but it is relevant to keep monitoring the evolution of the situation," said CAMS director Laurence Rouil.

Canadian Coast Guard evacuates 16 as burning container ship emits toxic gas off Pacific coast

The global chemical weapons watchdog on Wednesday for the first time explicitly blamed Syria for toxic attacks, saying President Bashar al-Assad's air force used the nerve gas sarin and chlorine three times in 2017.

The findings came in the first report from a new investigative team set up by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to identify the perpetrators of attacks in Syria's ongoing nine-year-long civil war.

In March 2017, Syrian fighter jets dropped sarin on the northern village of Lataminah and a military helicopter dropped a barrel bomb full of chlorine on the same village, the probe found.

The OPCW said the team "has concluded that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the perpetrators of the use of sarin as a chemical weapon in Lataminah in 2017... and the use of chlorine... were individuals belonging to the Syrian Arab Air Force".

The report willl now go to the UN Security Council which will decide what, if any, further action to take,

Member states of the OPCW agreed two years ago to give The Hague-based watchdog new powers to attribute blame for attacks, despite the objections of Syria and its ally Russia.&nbsp;

Previously it had only been able to say whether chemical strikes had occurred but without naming the perpetrators.

- 'Higher authorities' - 
The OPCW said the new Investigation and Identification Team (IIT) could not identify the precise chain of command but that orders for the attacks must have come from senior commanders.

"Attacks of such a strategic nature would have only taken place on the basis of orders from the higher authorities of the Syrian Arab Republic military command," IIT coordinator Santiago Onate-Laborde said&nbsp;

"Even if authority can be delegated, responsibility cannot. In the end, the was unable to identify any other plausible explanation," he said in a statement.

Western nations and human rights groups praised the OPCW report, saying it proved Syria continued chemical attacks on its own population.

"Today's confirmation that the Syrian military 'at the highest level' was responsible for sarin and chlorine attacks in 2017 should remove any doubt that the Syrian state deliberately used chemical weapons against its own people," Louis Charbonneau, Human Rights Watch's UN director said.

"The OPCW's conclusions should be used to support criminal justice for the individuals responsible," he added in a statement.

Canada's delegation to the OPCW said the evidence in the report was "conclusive" and described Syria's actions as "reprehensible."

Britain's ambassador to the Netherlands Peter Wilson said Syria was now in breach of the UN Chemical Weapons Convention and that OPCW states "must respond."

- Fighter jets - 
The report said two Syrian Arab Air Force Sukhoi SU-22 jet fighters dropped two bombs containing sarin on Lataminah on March 24 and 30, 2017.

A Syrian military helicopter dropped a cylinder containing chlorine on a hospital in the sane village on March 25 that year, the report said.

In total, 106 people were affected by the attacks, the OPCW said.

Almost two years ago, the OPCW confirmed that sarin and chlorine were used in two attacks on the town, but at the time it did not name those responsible.

The Lataminah strikes came just days before another deadly sarin assault in nearby Khan Sheikhun on April 4 that &nbsp;killing more than 80 people.

Western nations launched air strikes on Syrian military targets in &nbsp;response to the Khan Sheikhun attack.

The OPCW team is expected to deal at a later date with an alleged 2018 chlorine attack in the Syrian town of Douma in which at least 40 people died -- an investigation that has become a major bone of contention between Damascus and its Russian ally and Western nations.

Damascus has continued to deny the use of chemical weapons and insists it has handed over its weapons stockpiles under a 2013 agreement, prompted by a suspected sarin gas attack that killed 1,400 in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta.

The OPCW won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2013 for its work in Syria and says it has eliminated 97 percent of the world's chemical weapons.
