Know what protects you from bad air?
Masks. |
Ok Marlboro Man. |
My kid’s elementary school is having indoor lunch & recess today due to air quality. |
And this is me, crawling into my crypt to die. MARSHA MARSHA MARSHA |
This just put a mask on if you have to go outside today. |
this is really an unusual situation. Not just regular smog. |
Please don't do the bootcamp. The AQI is currently at 200, which is at the edge between red and purple, and the forecast is for it to continue in red through tomorrow. It's not a good idea for anyone to be doing strenuous outdoor activity today. https://www.airnow.gov/?city=Washington&state=DC&country=USA |
Not at our current levels - as of Wednesday at 9am we are in AQI levels over 180

I'm not sure. I don't usually do strenuous outside activity but usually like to walk at least an hour a day. Already sneezing with soar throat just from being inside though. Then again, I also spent at lot of time in Delhi and Iraq and used to smoke a pack a day, so how much worse could it be than that? |
I have asthma, so I typically try to stay inside during these days. Had to use my rescue inhaler this am, but otherwise if indoors it's ok.
For those who are out walking small children, are they worried about lung issues? |
Is Purple even worse than Red ?? |
My kids (Pre-K and preschool) are staying indoors today; daycare's rules. |
I would have thought Red was the worst. Whatever is red is always the worst. ![]() |
LOL "Be tough! Damage your lungs for no good reason!" |
Nope. Just went for a run. |
