Vog Is Common, but Smog Is Not

While many of the states in mainland U.S. suffer from pollution, the same can't be said for Hawaii. These islands are famed for their natural beauty and their clear skies. But that doesn't mean that they're always completely clear. Although these islands don't suffer from smog, they do suffer from vog on a regular basis - and that's all thanks to the many volcanoes that call these islands their home.

Kilauea volcano on the Big Island is particularly famous for its release of vog, and while it's not dangerous long-term, it can sometimes be difficult for people with breathing issues.
