The island of Maui is the paradise of paradise, and its air quality is no different. The more than 25,000 people who live in the Kahului-Wailuku area are blessed with warm temperatures and cloudless skies most of the year, in addition to the clean air. That's due in part to the fact that Maui's volcanoes unlike those on the big island of Hawaii nearby are dormant, so there's no risk of volcanic fog, or "vog."
