Bad Air Quality in Chicago....National Map of Air Quality around the Country

Last edited Wed Jun 28, 2023, 02:41 PM - Edit history (1)

Note: by Adjusting the Map, you can tell the exact air quality wherever you live. Just adjust the map to the section of the
country you live in. Then adjust it further, so you can see the exact air quality in the exact place where you live. An
incredible map of the U.S.A. Brought to you by the Enviornmental Protection Agency....EPA... .(a branch of the federal government.) The map is named ..."Air Now"

(parts of Illinois , not where I live,) are currently ..."VERY UNHEALTHY"....2:25 pm..Central Time...
The government, Enviornmental Protection Agency, updates the map every hour so an individual can see
how the air improves, or gets worse by the hour....Yes, we pay for the map by paying for ......"Federal Income Taxes"
Just like we pay for Yellowstone National Park...Have You ever been to Yellowstone National Park? Quite a show...


If you haven't been there, it is worth going in my opinion.

Way better today, but still 198!
Outer edges of Chicagoland.
Yesterday at the golf course, nothing was clear past 150-200 yards.
Today the noticeable haze was probably more like 300 yards.
Pretty filthy air.
