GOOD
It's a great day to be active outside.
MODERATE
It's a good day to be active outside. Take it
easier if you are unusually sensitive to air
pollution.


UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS
Older adults, children and teens, people
with certain health conditions, and people
who are active outdoors should take it
easier.
                     UNHEALTHY
                     Everyone should take it easier.
     Go for 150!
     The CDC recommends 150 minutes of
     moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes
     of vigorous-intensity activity every week
     for adults.
     Watch for symptoms.
     Coughing or shortness of breath are
     signs to take it easier. Air pollution can
     also make asthma symptoms worse and
     trigger attacks.
                                     Take it easier.
                                     Take breaks. Be active for a shorter
                                     amount of time. Do less intense activities,
                                     like walking instead of running.
                     VERY UNHEALTHY
                     Sensitive groups, avoid outdoor exertion.
                     Everyone else, avoid long or intense
                     outdoor exertion.
                                     Plan ahead for ozone.
                                     There is less ozone in the morning, so
                                     plan your intense outdoor activities early
                                     on high ozone days.
   Take public transportation,
     carpool, walk or bike.
                       How YOU can improve your local air quality;
      Avoid idling and schedule
         errands together.
