Hawaii Residents Face New Hazard From Erupting Volcano: Laze

AHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Hawaii faced a new hazard on Sunday as lava flows from Kilauea’s volcanic eruption could produce clouds of acid fumes, steam and glass-like particles as they reach the Pacific, authorities said.
Civil defense notices cautioned motorists, boaters and beachgoers to beware of caustic plumes of “laze” formed from two streams of hot lava pouring into the sea. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hawaii-kilauea-volcano_us_5b0264cfe4b0a046186d8725
