    Reading the AQI

    Ozone forms on hot, sunny afternoons, so it peaks in summer; plan runs and outdoor play for the morning on high-ozone days. Fine particles (PM2.5) come from wildfire smoke, traffic and wood burning and can spike in any season. Above 100, people with asthma, heart or lung conditions, older adults and children should limit long or heavy exertion outdoors.
