Our air quality is currently the worst on the planet, and it’s not even close
You likely don’t need us to tell you this, but our current air quality is beyond horrendous.
Try to stay indoors as much as possible in the foreseeable future and if you need to go outdoors, consider wearing some sort of mask.
A special air quality statement is in effect from Environment Canada and the agency lists air quality in the Okanagan, Shuswap and Thompsons regions as 10+, which is “very high risk.”
...
For a more in depth look at how bad the air quality is, we can turn to IQAir, which shows the US AQI figure for these regions as mostly between 400-500.
Anything over 150 is considered “very unhealthy” and levels as high as we’re seeing locally today are very hazardous to health.
