This #AirQualityIndex or #AQI map shows current readings from actual sensors. Many show historical data if you click on the marker; some have pollution forecasts for a few days ahead.

Note: Purple Air consumer grade sensors are known to display numbers that are consistently higher than actual values. Pay more attention to the sensors of state DEPs, the Departments for Environmental Protection: those are more reliable.

"If there is a silver lining in the smoky clouds from #Canada this month, experts say, it’s that Michiganders and millions of #Americans have gained a greater awareness of how #AirPollution affects them, how the #AirQualityIndex works and the risks of #ClimateChange."

NOW is the time to talk about how the #smoke is connected to climate change: now that people are breathing it, or know someone who is breathing it.
