on the bottom is a screenshot of a weather app showing AQI of 110 and labeled unhealthy
Love the app... I have 185 today. Who can score higher today? Hah 🫠
what app is this?
edit: found it thank you https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather
And I'm sitting here with
half that and having issuesless than a third of thatWhere is this from? I mean the place
on that topic - where does the O³ come from?
a fellow breezy weather user!
you can tap on it to read more about it.Ground-level ozone (O3) is a major component of smog. Although the same molecule, ground-level ozone can be harmful to human health, unlike stratospheric ozone that protects the earth from excess UV radiation. It is formed from photochemical reactions with pollutants such volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (NO,) emitted from vehicles, and industry. Due to the photochemical nature, the highest levels of ozone are seen during periods of sunny weather. Exposure to excessive ozone can cause problems breathing, trigger asthma, reduce lung function and lead to lung disease.
I think the O3 ozone is a byproduct of combustion at high temperatures and not ideal combustion ratios. But I don't know a whole lot about it.
Ozone if formed usually when UV rays hit Oxygen(O2), and if forms protective ozone layer high up in atmosphere. But ground level ozone like this are formed from other pollutants in the presence of sunlight. That is factory and vehicle's pollutants react on sunlight and creates ozone which is harmful
Ah apparently, it is more common to occur naturally in the countyside because the NOx from fossil fuels will react with the ozon to create NO² and O².

thanks for the link!
Pretty good! Maybe I'll be able to breathe today!
Oh...
Right before last summer I bought my good friend an air purifier for his birthday. My other friends made some light ribbing at my expense for being such a boring gift. The wild fires in Canada made the Philadelphia horizon hellish for about a week.
My good friend bought two more purifiers after that.
Mine is pretty low, surprising as I live in a big city.
The biggest nearby city is Seattle, and it's pretty good there
Git gud.
how much time does it take to acquire Chilean citizenship?
5 years to settle, however, good news for you, ANY oceanside city have clean air, closer you to ocean, cleaner air will be
Just here to let you all know that mine is currently 1. Living in the middle of nowhere has its benefits, at times
that one is also probably a round-off error.
Oxygen masks are going to be a great business in the near future, maybe it would be a good idea to invest in stocks 🤔
follow what rich people are buying and you'll never be disappointed.

Suprisingly bad
Edit: It's "Bad", but about what I expected with the Autobahn nearby
very cute. this winter in Sarajevo (my city) the AQI was about ~500. we barely breathe down here. the worst part is that Sarajevo is surrounded by several mountains and lacks wind during the winter.
air
also why would the ozone be polluting the air?
