Air Quality Los Angeles
With all the fires around Los Angeles, the air quality in the city is very low.
Even health officials have issued a warning, telling people to try not to breath in areas where you can small and see smoke (kind of hard not to breathe if you are there though).
There has been portable air monitors setup around these smoky areas, to get data about what the air quality is really like. Later a number between 0 and 500 should be released, which is the area’s air quality index. This basically measures the amount of bad, small particles in the air around Los Angeles.
Authorities have advised that outdoor sports events and activities should be cancelled. And residents should try and stay inside their homes with the air conditioner set to recirculate the air.
The Fires around Los Angeles did not cause too much physical harm to people (it did to houses), let’s hope this bad air quality doesn’t affect too many people either.
