How do I know when I should stay indoors as far as the Ozone AQI and the PM2.5 AQI (not wildfires, but other PM2.5 sources)?
We cannot edit our messages? What I mean is that the forecast for tomorrow is ozone AQI: 90, and PM2.5 AQI: 55. Google AI seems to think that I should stay indoors, and not go outside for 5 hours in the evening.
