Poor Air Quality For 07/28/2023
We are experiencing poor air quality today, Friday, July 28, 2023, due to burns yesterday afternoon, especially near the San Pasqual schools.
Chase Choate, Environmental Director at Quechan Indian Tribe, is recommending everyone to utilize the purpleair.com website as a tool to keep informed of the air quality.
You can go to purpleair.com and on the map select the circle near Ft. Yuma Hill you can see in real time the air quality. In the lower left box you can select for either PM (particulate matter) 10 or PM 2.5 EPA AQI (air quality index) to see the difference between finer and coarser particulate matter. The finer particulate matter as in 2.5, is more likely to reach deeper into your lungs.
