Vog
thumb|Dense vog as seen from Hilo Bay, Hawaii Vog is a form of air pollution that results when sulfur dioxide and other gases and particles emitted by an erupting volcano react with oxygen and moisture in the presence of sunlight. The word is a portmanteau of the words volcanic and smog, the latter itself a portmanteau of smoke and fog. The term is in common use in the Hawaiian Islands, where the Kīlauea volcano, on the Island of Hawaii (the "Big Island"), erupted continuously between 1983 and 2018. Based on June 2008 measurements, Kīlauea emits 2,000–4,000 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2) every d
