Vog reaches ‘unhealthy’ levels in Kona
Hualalai was shrouded in vog Tuesday as air quality reached “unhealthy” levels for some West Hawaii residents.
According to the state Department of Health, Kona experienced a “red” air day Tuesday. Since the installation of the air quality monitor in Kona in 2009, health officials say this was the first time they’ve seen West Hawaii reach unhealthy levels.
