The poor air quality poses serious health risks, especially for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory or heart conditions. Ground-level ozone can irritate the lungs, trigger asthma attacks, and reduce lung function, while fine particle pollution can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory issues. Everyone, not just sensitive groups, may experience breathing difficulties and irritation under 'Hazardous' air quality conditions, with AQI levels exceeding 301. Emergency conditions are in effect, and outdoor activities are strongly discouraged.
