+1. Stop the spread, don’t be selfish breathing your smoky breath over the rest of us. |

Sure, but it's not really fine until the fires are out. If the winds change we can go through all of this again next week. Canada needs rain! |

But what if the PP needs to use medical services for some anxiety-induced condition and the ER is overrun with joggers having trouble breathing? |

| Let’s be honest here. You can go outside and it’s fine. It’s not the best for your health but it’s probably not going to make a huge impact on you. The real issue here is do you really want to add additional strain to your lungs just to go outside on the worst air quality days? These types of health affects are cumulative over your life and can result in a poorer quality of life as you get older. You’ll never know if going out contributed to your health. I don’t know why someone would add additional damage to their lungs unnecessarily. They have to last you your whole life. |

What are you talking about? It's 67. Half of the summer will be higher than that. Feel free to go about your business as usual. |

What a very ignorant post that I won't be correcting this time. |

10:00 AM - the PM 2.5 is still at 67. |

Conscientious people would stay inside until there is zero risk. That means 0 PM2.5. It's the only prudent thing to do. |

Still not great and could have a long term impact on your health. |

So could a thousand other things - but we call that life and we don't hide from it. |

Again, don’t use a search engine. Go directly to airnow.gov. |

Yes, but only if you shame anyone who steps foot outside before it’s zero. |
