Over a 21 day period last month, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels were poor for 15 days, fair for 4 days, and unhealthy for 1 day. There were no days when NO2 was rated good or excellent.
Have you noticed that air quality alert days are increasing in our area? We need to take these alerts seriously. The alerts include ground level ozone, particulate matter (2.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers), carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and wildfire smoke. All these pollutants are harmful to our health, but I will focus on ozone in this blog.
