When to Limit Outdoor Activities
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a helpful tool for determining when it’s safe to be outdoors. Sensitive groups, such as individuals with asthma or heart conditions, should avoid outdoor activities when the AQI is between 50 and 100. For everyone, outdoor physical activity should be minimized when the AQI exceeds 100, as the air quality can strain even healthy lungs.
