Air pollution
Wildfire smoke can travel long distances and degrade air quality far away, presenting risks for those breathing it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses the Air Quality Index (AQI) to measure pollutant levels, which are converted into a single number, with lower numbers indicating better air quality. The EPA classifies
