  Vog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vog is volcanic smog formed when sulfur dioxide and other pollutants emitted by an erupting volcano mixes with oxygen and moisture in the presence of sunlight.
Although vog has not been as extensively studied as it could be, it has been found that most of the aerosols are acidic and of a size where they can remain in the lungs where they can damage and impair their function and degrade the performance of the immune system.
In Hawaii, vog mostly affects the western coast of the island of Hawai'i, where the prevailing trade winds blow the vog to the southwest and wind patterns then blow it north up the coast.

 Vog - Art History Online Reference and Guide
Vog (portmanteau for volcanic smog) forms when sulfur dioxide and other pollutants emitted by an erupting volcano mixes with oxygen and moisture in the presence of sunlight to form a type of smog.
Vog can form anytime and anywhere there is an active volcanic eruption, but the term appears to be most closely related to the island of Hawai'i, whose Kilauea volcano has been erupting continuously since 1983.
Although vog has not been as extensively studied as it could be, it has been found that most of the aerosols are acidic and of a size where they can remain in the lungs where they can damage and impare their function and degrade the performance of the immune system.

 Health impact of 'vog' studied - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
One of those scientists is Dr. Jean-Pierre Michaud, a toxicologist and associate professor of chemistry at the University of Hawai'i-Hilo, who is conducting a five-year, $600,000 study on vog — the term for volcanic smog — and acute changes in lung function.
Vog is formed when sulfur dioxide gas reacts chemically with sunlight, oxygen, dust particles and water.
The study is subject to natural conditions, and Michaud said the lack of severe vog episodes during the monitoring periods has been frustrating.

 Vog: A Volcanic Hazard
The main issue is that the specific hazards associated with vog have not yet been clearly defined.
In order to address the immediate concern of reducing the risk to people from vog, the Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) has recently taken on the formidable challenge of developing an index which would identify the levels of vog for areas of the island.
If we can categorize vog levels, we will be able to reduce our risks by controlling our exposure even before we fully understand what the precise hazards associated with vog.

 Fact Sheet, Volcanic Air Pollution--A Hazard in Hawai`i; Fact Sheet 169-97
The word "vog," an abbreviation for volcanic smog, was coined to identify this form of air pollution, which unfortunately has become a part of everyday life for people in Hawai`i.
Vog is created when SO and other volcanic gases combine and interact chemically in the atmosphere with oxygen, moisture, dust, and sunlight over periods of minutes to days.
Vog is a visible haze consisting of gas plus a suspended mixture of tiny liquid and solid particles, called aerosol.

Vog often accumulates against the southwest flank of Mauna Loa Volcano lower right) during normal tradewind conditions.
Moderate to strong trade winds carry gases and vog from Kilauea Volcano around the southern tip of the island where the gas tends to accumulate on the leeward or "kona" coast.
However, when the trade winds are light or absent or when winds blow from the south, much of the vog stays on the eastern side of the island where it sometimes moves into the city of Hilo.

Vog is pollution produced by volcanos, and Hawaii has a serious problem with it.

Hawaii's strong sunlight and moist air promote oxidation and hydration of sulfur dioxide to a sulfuric acid aerosol which is partially neutralized to ammonium sulfate.
The combination of these aerosols, the remaining sulfur dioxide and other volcanic vapors are locally referred to as VOG or volcanic fog.
The rate of air emissions by Kilauea may produce VOG exposures along the plume trajectory which present chronic or acute public health hazards.
