Oh, you mean like my kids? Who have no problem walking 3/4 mile to school with a little smog? The advisory means minimize being active outside. Walking 15 minutes to school each way or to the bus stop isn’t going to cause any health concerns for anyone.

The schools in NY aren’t closing, are they?

Yes, they are closing.

Cite? Two random small school districts is not representative. The city of ny will not close

They're actually closed in NYC anyway, so they don't have to make the decision.

Where’s your source? Looks like they were closed today for “anniversary day” but I see nothing about tomorrow.

Closed tomorrow. Closed Friday.

NYC is not relevant to MoCo.

It is not relevant in air quality today. A poster claimed NYC would not close. The schools don't need to make a decision. But there are a lot of events and businesses closing in NYC so everyone who is acting like the horrible air quality is not a big deal isn't really paying attention. Hopefully it doesn't get close to what NY had today. MCPS would have to close if it was that bad.

Maryland’s air quality was deemed hazardous today. I’m keeping my kids home.

Is the air quality in your home better than the air quality in your kids' school?

AQI is 254 per my AirNow EPA app, this is labeled as “very unhealthy.” I don’t want to, but considering keeping my kids at home. No need for them to travel around in this. And, I don’t trust that the school’s air quality is that good. At home, I know I have air purifiers and fresh filters.

Not acutely, but it's better to inhale less PM 2.5 than more, and it's better to avoid exposure if possible. The air quality is worse this morning than yesterday, the haze is visible even at close range, and I'm wearing an N95 when I go outside.

Just be aware that the air inside your house is the same air that is outside and the same air that is at school.

Maybe you should consider moving to Florida to avoid the bad air quality.

This isn’t true at all. Maybe you should consider reading a book once in a while
