Here is a nice visualization, May 17th looks especially bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agKmsOL4Dn4
Actually, that is a prediction model, and not a report of current or past activity.

Here is a link to current data (both SO2 and Particulate Matter):

Vog Measurement and Prediction (VMAP) | Current SO2/SO4 Measurements

Note that at the time I've posted this link, SO2 in Kailua-Kona is "Acceptable," but particulate matter is "Moderate."

Anyone else think that the Hilo "missing" data is curious?
