What's in Mineral Bluff's Air Right Now
PM2.5 (fine particles): 13 µg/m³. Readings between 12 and 35 µg/m³ rate Moderate. Sensitive lungs may notice on longer outings. These particles come from exhaust and smoke and are small enough to reach deep into your lungs.
PM10 (coarse dust): 14 µg/m³. Readings under 54 µg/m³ rate Good. Dust and pollen fragments ride in this size range and irritate your nose and throat.
Ozone: 75 µg/m³. Ozone forms when sunlight cooks car exhaust, so hot afternoons read worst, usually between 2 PM and 7 PM. Mornings stay cleanest.
Nitrogen dioxide: 8.4 µg/m³. NO2 comes almost entirely from traffic and feeds afternoon ozone. Readings run highest near busy roads during the morning and evening commutes.
