DO NOT BREATHE THE AIR IN LA

The most pressing issue in Los Angeles County right now is air quality, but AQI, the only tool at our disposal is regulated by the EPA that left every one out to dry after 9/11...

Since I saw horizontal black smoke in my backyard, I’ve been worried about air quality. I dug around the internet for information every day, but every thing just pointed me back to AQI readings, the EPA’s measure for communicating air quality. As I read the AQI each day, I felt something was up. Even as the Sunset Fire was burning in the Hills, there were pockets of LA that still had green readings denoting that the air was “well”!

So I did some quick research and realized that the Air Quality Index communicated from the EPA is a POLITICAL TOOL pursuant to the Clean Air Act. The same EPA that told people it was safe to return to Downtown New York after 9/11.
