| Volcanic smog, or VOG, contains harmful chemicals and particles that may affect people's health and well-being. |
The volcanic emissions, often known as volcanic smog or VOG, have caused crowded emergency rooms in Oahu.
People were complaining of respiratory issues, headaches and watery eyes due to thick VOG, officials say.
The ERs were more crowded than usual because two local hospitals have been closed recently due to bankruptcy.

Keep VOG out of your home with powerful air purifiers
An air filter for the removal of dangerous VOG pollutants needs to feature more than a simple HEPA particle filter.
A HEPA air cleaner can only remove particles, leaving behind VOG chemicals and toxins to linger in your air.
The AllerAir 5000 VOG and AirMedic VOG feature both a medical-grade HEPA filter and a customized activated carbon filter, designed specifically to adsorb the dangerous properties of VOG pollution.
For more information on our VOG air cleaners contact an Indoor Air Quality Expert at 1-888-852-8247.
