🚌 School's in session! Check your local AQHI as you commute to school or work. The pollutants emitted through the burning of gasoline or diesel affect the quality of air we breathe. Children are particularly vulnerable. Per unit of body weight, children breathe twice as much air as adults, this translates into an increased health risk to children. Live AQHI updates are available at (insert your local live update url)

Heat domes can mean more than just hot weather.
When a heat dome settles in, it traps hot air near the ground, creating the perfect conditions for air pollution to build up. Combined with wildfire smoke, this can lead to reduced air quality and increased health risks.
During periods of extreme heat:
☀️ Stay hydrated.
🌳 Seek shade or air-conditioned spaces.
📱 Check the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) before spending time outdoors.
🏃 Consider reducing or rescheduling strenuous outdoor activities if air quality is poor.
A little planning can help you stay safe while enjoying summer.
