A concerning air quality mystery has broken out in Chicago, as
the city was reportedly blanketed with toxic chemicals - although
not everyone is convinced that the emergency actually took place.
Air quality maps revealed an enormous cloud of hazardous air
sitting over the entire Chicago metropolitan area Wednesday
afternoon, with readings reaching 500 on the Air Quality
Index (AQI) - the worst possible score on Google Maps.
An AQI of 500 denotes extremely hazardous air quality, where
pollutant levels are at or beyond the upper limits of what
monitoring systems typically measure which typically only
happens during massive wildfires or volcanic eruptions.
The news comes as Chicago was just found to have some of the
worst air quality in the US. Chicago specifically ranked poorly
in particle pollution - which refers to tiny solid or liquid
particles suspended in the air that people can breathe in.
While both Google and Apple customers received alarming messages
about the apparent emergency, the news actually caused more
confusion than panic.
. . .
Particles and CARBON MONOXIDE ....
For SOME reason this death cloud seems STUCK over
Chicago.
California 'smog' ... we can kinda understand, the
mountains kinda trap it there. But Chicago ???
