Today's Air Quality Cannot Be Much Worse

Our local air monitors indicate violations of health standards for ozone and particulate matter today.

 

The graph shows how high we are, so far today, above the federal health standard for PM 2.5.  The red line is the level where damage to heart and lungs begins to be noticed.  Today, we are approaching the higher levels where warnings should be issued to parents and schools to keep kids inside.  Forget about sports for today.  The air will be much better by Friday.
