Volcanic Haze Expected to Affect Hawaii's Air Quality
• Volcanic haze (VOG) is anticipated to reduce air quality in Hawaii due to increased volcanic emissions.
• Residents with respiratory conditions are advised to limit outdoor activities during periods of high VOG concentration.
• The Hawaii Department of Health is actively monitoring the situation and providing regular updates to the public.
Volcanic haze to negatively impact Hawaii's air
Volcanic haze, known as VOG, is anticipated to degrade air quality throughout Hawaii. Volcanic emissions, mainly sulfur dioxide, react with oxygen and moisture, causing reduced visibility and respiratory problems, particularly for those with asthma.
