Current air quality, Los Angeles, Jan. 10 0659PT
if you're in any of the areas with red/orange/purple, it's an N95 day (and Corsi Rosenthal/HEPA filter running full if you're indoors). Note that this smoke is going to be far more hazardous to your health than the already hazardous smoke you'd get from a wildfire, due to incinerated cars, couches, plastic, asbestos, rubber, etc. - protect your health!

In response to this postAir quality specifically in the #EatonFire area - Altadena, La Canada Flintridge, and Pasadena is 200+ (!!). Note all the PurpleAir sensors which either were destroyed in the fire or where Internet/power does not exist. (satellite images and on-the-ground photos indicate firestorm incinerated those neighborhoods 🙏 ). #AQI #CAwx #wildfires
@ai6yr
Interesting.
I proposed an particulate air quality monitoring network to the City of Long Beach and Los Angeles County some years ago, it was based on a Dylos unit and LoRa radio sending MQTT packets. Solar powered, no internet needed.

@ai6yr Fortunately, where I live in Pasadena seems to be below AQI 200, although there is a huge variation in readings from PurpleAir sensors. I wonder if some are actually inside buildings.

In response to this post@ai6yr I'm counting myself lucky the wind seems to be blowing pretty much due west and I'm in the green area to the south.
@SRLevine 🙏 Likewise, I am in the green...
