I've lived on oahu for 2 yrs. now. i'm not sure what "vog" is, but, when it's in the air, my eyes and throat go crazy. what can i do ?

=volcanic smog: Vog is a mixture of volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide & hydrogen sulfide (both very irritating to eyes & respiratory tract), particulate matter, oxygen, & moisture. See following site for more detailed description:http://hvo.Wr.Usgs.Gov/volcanowatch/archive/1996/96_05_29.Html.

Volcanic smog: Volcanic smog (vog) contains multiple chemicals, of which any combination may lead to allergies. See an allergist; he/she will have likely treated many sufferers and probably knows wt least where to start!
