Answer and Explanation:

The smoke was very dangerous, as it contained gases such as methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrous oxygen (N2O), in addition to other highly toxic gases that spread through Hawaii. This severely damaged the population's health, creating several respiratory problems and diseases that are very difficult to treat.

In addition, the Hawaii ecosystem was badly damaged by the bombing, in addition to the atmosphere contaminated by gases, the destroyed ships caused a large oil spill, which compromised all marine life and other animals that usually come into contact with water.
