July 5th air quality rule
Image description: an AQI scale that shows “173 - Unhealthy. Air quality index is 173, which is worse than yesterday at about this time.”
Damn all those American fireworks
I’m not kidding when I say I heard over 3 continuous hours of fireworks last night. Someone just shot some fireworks on our block (and I think directly outside our apartment) at 10:30 am today.
My area had 75 tons of illegal fireworks seized a week ago and we still had it non stop from 3pm to 1am last night, including very loud and very illegal m80s and such. If history serves, it will continue all month, and there will still be fireworks every holiday up to and including Mother's Day.
Count your blessings it's only morning after fireworks, haha.
Outdoors it reached an AQI of 300 post-fireworks (around midnight) in the suburban city I live in, bros fuggin cooked it
In Chicago, I started the night with a clear view of the Sears tower. Throughout the night it became more obscured until I couldn't see any of it.
So glad I invested in an appropriately sized air purifier this year.
I get a heat and air quality warning every single day. Totally normal, nothing to see here.
Mine is 30 points higher than usual 😕 Someone should invent greener green fireworks https://scitechdaily.com/how-environmentally-friendly-are-green-fireworks/
