Health impact is one thing and airspace closure is another. Until there's no ash these are only quesses. How would sulphur affect passengers and the industry in short term? SO2 cloud reportedly reached Germany and Austria today (after reaching Norway and Sweden more than 2 weeks ago) and still noone gives a toss. Besides it is washed out quite easily by rain therefore higher contentration far from Iceland is quite unlikely.
