When air quality is in the Unhealthy range (AQI 151-200), everyone may begin to experience health effects. Members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Everyone else should limit prolonged or heavy exertion.
Very Unhealthy (AQI over 200) air quality indicates a health alert signifying that everyone may experience more serious health effects from air pollution. People with heart or lung disease, older adults, children, and outdoor workers should avoid all outdoor exertion. Everyone else should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion and minimize exposure to air pollutants.
