vog
Hawaii's sulfurous haze
Vog is air pollution caused by volcanic emissions, particularly sulfur dioxide and other gases that react with sunlight and oxygen to create a hazy smog.
The term blends "volcanic" and "fog" and is used especially in Hawaii, where active volcanoes regularly produce this hazard.
Vog can irritate the eyes and respiratory system and reduce visibility.
The vog was so thick today we couldn't see the mountains.
