Pāhoa, Hawaii, May 20, 2018 – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) On-Scene Coordinator Jason Musante (left) and Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) Chemist Jim Ciszewski (right) assess part of the rift zone caused by the Kīlauea volcanic eruption. The residential area of Leilani Estates has been evacuated due to lava spill, earthquakes, fires, and high concentrations of sulfur dioxide. As part of a FEMA mission-assignment, EPA is working with HDOH to help keep residents safe by testing air quality and providing data on sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and particulate levels.
