So, how do they measure poor air quality?

The EPA measures levels of pollutants in the air daily.
These levels are given a number value.
The higher the number, the poorer the air quality.

And it's Billings, Montana the was listed as having the worst air quality in the Nation. Yesterday's air quality value in Billings had a value of 210.

Yesterday the air quality in Billings was listed as very unhealthy. Mostly because of the wildfires from Canada. Meaning, it will change. It will change daily.

People who have heart and lung problems, senior citizens, and children and teens should avoid any strenuous outdoor activities.
