Each day during the 6 month eruption, (August 31st 2014 - February 28th 2015) in Holuhraun, Iceland emitted more Sulphur dioxide (SO2) then all of Europe combined. Europe is estimated to emit about 14.000 tons of sulphur dioxide every day but the eruption in Holuhraun was estimated to emit 20-60.000 tons each day. So little Iceland polluted more than all of Europe combined!
