  1. Day trip to campground canceled.
    They're also above 150, and N-95 style masks can only stop 90% of PM2.5 particles.
    So even sunbathing, a low impact outdoor activity, could come with symptoms and particle adoption.

  6. I should've gone camping in PA; the air's now better there than in NYC!!!
    I actually saw a handful of NYC people wearing masks - most of them in useless "surgical-style masks". Every time I saw a caregiver w/child, no masks, I stopped myself from yelling at the adult.
    >In a room w/ COVID, surgical "masks" protect you for five (5) minutes.
    >In that room, in a N-95-style mask, you're protected for fourty-five (45) minutes!

  16. Hey, NYC, mask up! Unhealthy air quality today, all the way in the RED zone(!) - score of 151, just over the border.
    (It's ozone, not smoke particulate, that's the main concern.)

  20. L.A. County declares health emergency due to smoke and ash Smoke hovers over the L.A. Basin

    “The fires, coupled with strong winds, have severely degraded air quality by releasing hazardous #smoke and #particulate matter, posing immediate and long-term risks to public #health,” the department said in a statement Friday evening.

  24. #LAFire has spread across #SouthernCalifornia and #CBSNews LA footage shows victims who reveal surviving #AltaDena #fire by personally defending home, damping out flames even with no water, while neighbors abandoned, and one victim's lone structure is still standing on block due to his death defying diligence.

    Even though not in path of documented blazes, areas like #LakeElsinore are without power due to safety concerns, and many communities are exposed to dangerous #particulate matter in air requiring #N95 NIOSH masks, conditions far worse than normal #SMOG.

    Early estimates find total damage and economic loss due to the #LosAngeles #wildfires is already between $135 billion and $150 billion, with much more estimates to be defined in #NewYear

    #Chevron says Richmond ballot measure to tax refinery will cost Bay Area drivers

    By Cornell Barnard
    Friday, July 26, 2024

    "One of the Bay Area's largest refineries says it's against a tax measure on November's ballot, which could force it to pay more in taxes.

    "Chevron is firing back at the City of Richmond, which greenlighted the measure. Chevron says if voters approve it, drivers across the Bay Area can expect to pay more at the pump.

    "'This tax is the wrong approach,' said Tolly Graves, the director of Chevron's Richmond refinery, making it clear that the company is against a refinery tax, dubbed the '#PollutersPay Initiative.'

    "In November, voters will decide to tax one of the state's largest refineries $1 for each barrel of oil processed in city limits.

    "'At Chevron, our objective is always to provide reliable, affordable and clean [sic] energy to our customers and this tax puts all three at risk,' said Graves.

    [...]

    "Supporters of the tax argue that #pollution from the refinery has impacted residents' health.

    "'The local air district traces the #particulate matter from the refinery. It's five-to-11 premature deaths every year,' said Kerry Guerlin, attorney from Communities for a Better Environment Action."
