Well, this is a relief to see (indoors with the windows open) after the last several days.

Outside, the #temtop monitor says the #AQI is 140.

We went over to my in-laws, where they had the windows closed and had some window AC units running - the AQI inside was around 120 and stable.

I brought a 3-filter #CRBox over and plugged it in (on low). Within 10 mins, AQI was in the 70s. It slowed down at that point, but after running for an hour AQI is currently 43 and still slowly dropping. #smoke

The air is surprisingly ok outside right now in the upper east side even if AQI for NYC is 89 on the Apple weather map. The one other thing is that when a lot of cars and trucks drive by, the reading at the intersection jumps up to as high as 40+ so you basically want to avoid lots of cars/trucks I think (at least for prolonged periods).

]Earlier, people were smoking outside and it filled the main floor with smoke. I didn't notice because I was upstairs, but I came down and it was awful. I brought out the #Temtop #AQI monitor, and it was at 39 AQI; then I got to watch (after I closed the window) as the #CRBox cleaned up the smoke and the AQI dropped back to around 5.

Slightly better this morning in NYC but still unhealthy. PM2.5 reading was 171 at 9:30am.

Bonkers. PM2.5 is at 449 right now on the UES in NYC.
