Monitoring Air Quality During Wildfires

Air quality can change rapidly during a wildfire. Use reliable sources, such as government air quality websites or apps, to stay informed about local conditions.

An AQI above 100 is considered unhealthy, especially for sensitive groups, while levels above 200 are hazardous for everyone.
