Officials have warned people in Havaiji, that they should not go to see when lava faces the sea. The reason for those warnings is that there is very much Sulfur in the lava, and when very warm melted stone would Rendezvous the sea, that would happen the case, that Sulfur, what is in bubbles would transfer as Sulfuric acid or Sulfurous acid, what is very dangerous for lungs, if that chemical would go in the airways. The sulfuric acid would cause corrosion for lung cells, and that is extremely dangerous for health.
But there are of course other gasses, like hydrogen. And in some scenarios, the hydrogen would start to react with Chlorine, and make the Hydrochloride acid, what is also very toxic. Don't know does this acid actually forming during the volcanic eruption, but those chemicals what are releasing in this natural theater are very dangerous. Also sometimes the lava could cause explosives, when super hot lava bites, what are cooled at the surface would scratch, and then suddenly very hot nucleus of the stone would uncover, and that would cause the situation, where suddenly warmed water would cause pressure impulse in the sea.
And those impulses would cause the very big explosion. Also, hot steam can harm skin, and cause injuries in the large area of human skin. That is the very big reason to not go to see how lave faces the water and transforms as steam, what is full of sulfur and other gasses, what are always very poisonous. Breathing high-temperature gas is dangerous, and those droplets are sometimes full of volcanic ash, what makes very bad for lugs, because it's very difficult to remove that dust, what can cause stifling if the lugs are filled with that ash. So be careful with that kind of things, and follow the instructions, what are given by authorities. They can sometimes save your life.
