Safety information

What to do when the air is unhealthy

Three things first, then what each level of the index means. From the US EPA’s AirNow.

For this reportAir Quality · Bayān

  1. Less effort outdoors

    Shorten or move indoors hard activity; the worse the index, the more people it concerns.

    AirNow

  2. Keep indoor air clean

    Windows closed when the air outside is worse, an air purifier if you have one.

    AirNow

  3. A real mask outside

    A well-fitting N95/FFP2 filters fine particles; cloth and surgical masks do little.
