Good morning Toronto. The sky is no longer Blade-Runner orange, but the air quality is significantly *worse* than yesterday with an AQI of 323. (That’s considered “hazardous”). You should not be breathing outdoor air unless you are wearing an N95 mask.
As usual, no one I see outside (playing with their kids, jogging, etc) is taking any notice.

My brother ran a construction company for many years and he told me it was a constant struggle to get his work crews to wear any of the protective gear they needed to wear to work with hazardous materials. Even after covid, It’s still amazing to me how people will throw away their health in the future for momentary convenience now. Future-discounting is a flaw in our collective psyche. #Toronto #AQI
