Lava itself releases toxic gases, including carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrofluoric acid. When lava interacts with seawater a variety of other toxic gases are produced, including hydrochloric acid, which is highly corrosive. The lava haze, or laze, as it is called, can be deceptively deadly.

Vog and acid rain here are a PITA. I have to remember to add Ph+ to our little pool after every rain, the acid throws the balance ay off.

Vog does not bother me other than the crappy visibility. Some complain of all sorts of ailments from it.
