Common planning patterns
Morning readings are not enough if pollution is rising later in the day.
Repeated moderate-to-high exposure changes family routines faster than one isolated spike.
Indoor air quality becomes central when outdoor AQI stays elevated overnight.
City planning checklist
- Compare short outdoor needs with the whole-day indoor plan.
- Avoid heavy exercise outside once AQI moves into the orange range or higher.
- Use saved calculator links for routine scenarios that recur.
