New Air Quality Map For Washington Could Help You Breathe Easy!

Over the weekend, some guy looked at me in judgment because I was outside walking.

Part of my brain wanted to think it was some sort of judgment on my weight and my walking, but then I realized, nope, it was because it's 2024, and I'm still wearing a mask.

Yeah, those pandemic masks are coming in handy again lately, thanks to all the smoke.

The air quality throughout the Pacific Northwest is causing all sorts of problems for people.

Shortness of breath, coughing fits, and, man, do I feel bad for those people with Asthma, allergies, or other lung-related issues.

The Washington Air Quality Map!

A new tool has been released by the Washington Department of Ecology that will help us plan our days a little better.

You know, get up, grab a mask, or just stay at home and make the issues of the day a problem for future you!

It is a new air quality map that can give real-time updates.

The new map is beneficial not only for the current batch of smoke we've been seeing in Central Washington but also for other hazardous pollutants like Carbon monoxide and Ozone.

Not only is it in real-time, but it is also a great forecaster, in case you're planning a weekend highway getaway, or if you should put it off for later on down the road.
