There are AQI sensors all over the island, but maunakea is 4000m tall and the eruption isn't really near anything other than the national guard base. Generally speaking the air on the Big Island is very very clean by most standards. In the typical trade wind pattern (which we are not experiencing at the moment) you will mostly see volcanic gas from kilauea get trapped on the south kona coast.
