Title:Hawaii Volcano Eruption: Dangerous Volcanic Smog Blankets Sky in Marshall Islands, Thousands of Miles From Kilauea


The eruption of the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii is spewing more than molten lava and ash. It is also putting out 15,000 tons of  "vog,"  or volcanic fog, every day.


夏威夷大岛上基劳亚火山的喷发喷发不仅喷出熔融的熔岩和火山灰,而且每天喷出15,000吨火山雾。


People living as far away as the Marshall Islands, 2,300 miles from Hawaii, are experiencing vog from Kilauea blanketing the sky. Symptoms include burning eyes, headaches and sore throats, Agence France-Presse reported Monday. 


据法新社(Agence-France-Presse)周一报道,生活在离夏威夷2,300英里远的马绍尔群岛的人们正经历着从基劳埃亚覆盖天空的潮流。


"Everyone is having symptoms now on some level," emergency room physician and State Senator Josh Green told the Associated Press.


每个人都有某种症状,急诊室医生和州参议员乔希·格林告诉美联社。


According to the International Volcanic Health and Hazard Network (IVHHN), people with asthma or respiratory problems should stay inside. Room-air cleaners can help, but masks and ventilators do little. The network also recommends that people avoid strenuous outdoors activities and seek medical help if they experience breathing issues. In the absence of wind, vog can accumulate in one area, which people should evacuate if the pollution increases. 


根据国际火山卫生与危害网络,患有哮喘或呼吸系统问题的人应该呆在里面。该网络还建议人们避免户外剧烈运动,并在呼吸问题时寻求医疗帮助。如果污染增加,人们应该撤离。

火山爆发引起的气体、烟雾或烟雾,最近从夏威夷扩散到其他太平洋岛屿。


Trade winds are blowing the vog west, so any area east of the eruption won't likely experience strong effects from it. Tourism on most parts of the Big Island has continued as normal.


贸易风向西吹,所以在火山爆发以东的任何地区都不会有如此大的影响,大岛大部分地区的旅游业一直保持正常。


Water vapor, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are the main ingredients in vog, according to the  IVHHN. When a volcano releases this combination, called SO2, it reacts with the moisture, sunlight, oxygen and other gases in the environment. This turns SO2 into fine particles which can travel far in the wind, spreading throughout the sky and potentially causing problems for those who inhale it. It is colorless but can obscure views with its soft haze over the landscape.


根据IVHN的数据,水汽、二氧化碳和二氧化硫是vog的主要成分。当火山释放这种组合时,它和空气中的水分、阳光、氧气和其他气体发生反应。这使得SO2变为细颗粒,它能够在风中远行并传播到天空中,并可能给吸入它的人带来问题。它是无色的,但可以用它松软的雾气掩盖人们的看法。

The weeks-long eruption of Kilauea has damaged more than 50 properties and injured one man. Geologists predicted the eruption by measuring earthquakes and other geological shifts in advance, allowing local authorities to issue an evacuation order for the area. No fatalities are known.


基劳埃亚数周的火山爆发损坏了50多处房地产,一人受伤。地质学家通过事先测量地震和其他地质变化来预测火山爆发,让地方当局发布该地区疏散命令,没有人知道死亡事件。
