Take a look at this PurpleAir map. The dark purple and maroon areas are showing some of the worst air quality levels being reported right now due to wildfire smoke.
If you’re in or near Jenner, Timber Cove, Fort Ross, Cazadero, Guerneville, Monte Rio, Occidental, Forestville, Windsor, western Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Penngrove, and parts of Sonoma Valley, air quality has reached Very Unhealthy to Hazardous levels in many locations. At these levels, the air can be harmful for everyone, not just people with asthma or other health conditions.
What does that mean?
🟢 Good (0–50): Safe for outdoor activities.
🟡 Moderate (51–100): Most people are fine, but unusually sensitive individuals may notice symptoms.
🟠 Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101–150): Children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with heart or lung disease should reduce time outdoors.
🔴 Unhealthy (151–200): Everyone should limit prolonged outdoor activity.
🟣 Very Unhealthy (201–300): Health effects become more likely for everyone. Stay indoors when possible and avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
🟤 Hazardous (301+): This is considered toxic air. Everyone should remain indoors as much as possible with doors and windows closed. If you must go outside, wear a well-fitting N95 respirator. Running a HEPA air purifier can also help reduce smoke particles indoors.
Wildfire smoke contains tiny particles called PM2.5 that are small enough to travel deep into your lungs and even enter your bloodstream. Exposure can cause coughing, sore throat, burning eyes, headaches, shortness of breath, worsen asthma, and increase the risk of heart and lung complications.
Smoke conditions can change rapidly as winds shift, so check air quality before spending time outside. Even if you can’t smell smoke, unhealthy levels may still be present.
Stay informed, protect your lungs, and check on neighbors, older adults, and anyone with respiratory conditions who may need extra help during poor air quality events.
