Ash from the eruption of Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano has reportedly traveled across regions and reached the atmosphere over Delhi and parts of North India. Experts say the volcanic ash remains at high altitudes and is unlikely to severely impact ground-level air quality.
However, sensitive individuals may experience mild respiratory irritation, while aviation authorities continue monitoring flight safety due to airborne ash particles. Volcanic ash can travel thousands of kilometers through strong upper-atmosphere winds, highlighting how natural events can affect distant regions. Health experts advise vulnerable groups to stay cautious and monitor air quality updates.
