Volcano is Acting Up #3: Pele is Smoking!

[Les C]

So I did a little googling and found that what I read was incorrect, or I interpreted it incorrectly. SO2 IS a component of vog, so is SO3, and the rest are referred to as other volcanic particulates. The other parts about the smell, or lack thereof, and the acidity seem to be correct.
