@JulieEmery I feel the same way. I live on the Canadian prairies, and the pm 2.5 #AQHI this morning is at 204 (update, higher now - been getting worse by the minute). Ive got a lung condition as well, like to go paddling and running, but recently tried that in 170 and it was baaaad.
Didn't think we'd be at a point where checking the air quality along with the weather would become a daily habit. We have stretches of days where we just don't go outside anymore. Incredibly sad.
@dancingdogs The “AQHI-Plus” was demanded in BC after the AQHI failed to deliver in wildfire season. But in 2017 still noted as an inferior tool as risk still “low” if PM2.5 <60 ug/m3 #aqhi #aqi #forestfires

I'm wearing a mask outdoors today.
I've got to wonder why Environment and Natural Resources doesn't have a real-time #AQHI reading. Currently it's running almost an hour behind and updates hourly. So it jumped from 5.5 @ 09:00 to 8.2 @ 10.00, but it's now 11:00. That's kinda significant, especially when there's an air quality alert in effect.
The Air Quality Health Index (#AQHI) is going to 10+ today thanks to Québec wildfire smoke. At 09:00 it was already 5.5. I'm thinking that it's not the best time for kids to be running around during a baseball tournament. Responsible organizers would cancel it.
@grivettcarnac @dairpo Not a good day to do anything outside… I took the dog out for a short walk and it was already smelling bad.
Celebrating Clean Air Day with high risk #AQHI 🥳
