Residents have been ordered to remain indoors on La Palma amid fears toxic gas could be released when lava from the Cumbre Vieja volcano reaches the Atlantic Ocean.
It could trigger explosions and a chemical reaction involving chlorine, which can irritate the skin and eyes and affect breathing.
A red alert remains in force, and around 300 residents living in the Tazacorte districts, near the coast - which have been affected by heavy ash fall - have been advised to remain indoors.
