From a press release:
“An air quality health advisory has been issued for the Washington, D.C. region today due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. Air quality is forecast to reach “Purple” (very unhealthy) levels, posing health risks for everyone.
On “Purple” air quality days, the air is considered very unhealthy for everyone. The risk of health effects increases for all people, while children, older adults, individuals who are pregnant, people who exercise outdoors, and those with heart or lung disease, including asthma, may experience more serious health impacts. Residents are encouraged to stay indoors, keep windows closed, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities whenever possible.
