Sulfur Vent on Big Island of Hawaii
Kilauea on the Big Island has been erupting continuously since 1983. But in mid-March, a new vent formed at the summit, giving Kilauea two large sulfur dioxide outlets instead of one.
Sulfur dioxide, a pollutant that is also generated by burning coal and oil, can lead to asthma and other respiratory illnesses and aggravate lung and heart disease. When combined with dust and sunlight, it makes vog. Which is short for Vulcanic Fog. Mixed with atmospheric moisture, it produces acid rain.
Where is Al Gore when you need him? Someone quick file a lawsuit to stop the Volcano from causing so much pollution. Help us Hollywood, do something to stop this terrible abuse. Maybe hold a fund raiser to pay for the litigation. That would help us all feel better.
