🌡️ 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.

☀️ Summer sunshine + emissions = higher ozone potential. On warm, sunny days, emissions from vehicles, industry, and other sources react in the atmosphere to form ground-level ozone, which can affect air quality and health. Before heading outside, check your local Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) and consider taking simple steps to reduce emissions:
🚲 Walk or bike for short trips.
🚗 Skip unnecessary idling.
🌱 Choose cleaner transportation and equipment when you can.
Cleaner air starts with all of us.
