Thanks for sharing useful information.
ReplyDeleteI am looking at the map showing a bunch of colored dot; but, there is no legend to let me know what the dots means. Doesn't really help.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feedback. If you click on the dot that is closest to your location and it will tell you what the AQI value is and what action you can take to protect your health.
DeleteIf you want more information, click on the little "i" in the top right corner of the map, there are some resources to help explain the colors. Scroll down to "How to use this map?" and "What is the AQI?" for the best explanations. The "What can I do?" section can explain more actions to protect your health.
