VOG

Living on a volcano presents various different issues. But other than the concern of the earthquakes that forewarn or the possibility of eruption, it gives the island of Hawaii what is known as vog: volcanic smog. It is formed when sulfur dioxide and other gases mix with oxygen in the presence of sunlight (thanks to wikipedia!).
