Running
A lighter indoor option may be more comfortable today.

Ventilation
Consider waiting before longer ventilation.
Why: PM2.5, PM10, NO2 or ozone is elevated, so longer ventilation may bring more outdoor pollution indoors.

City air quality FAQ
How should I read the AQI for Vancouver?
US AQI condenses air quality into one value. On this page, it helps you quickly judge whether conditions look good, moderate or more polluted than usual.
Is the air quality good for going outside?
Check the outdoor and running cards first. They combine AQI, particles, ozone, weather and other factors that can affect outdoor comfort.
Should I ventilate right now?
The ventilation card considers AQI and pollutants such as particles, nitrogen dioxide and ozone. If values are elevated, a shorter opening or a later moment may be better.
Why can air quality change during the day?
Weather, emissions, ozone formation, particles and air flow can shift local conditions, so the next hours can differ from the current reading.
