We've got many tools to help you optimize your health, safety and comfort here in the AccuWeather Free app.
00:09
One of those is our localized air quality forecast.
00:13
And this is a great resource to understand what type of pollution is occurring in the air.
00:17
Of course, that's become a big issue in recent years related to wildfire smoke.
00:21
But there are many different ways that the air pollution in any area can be reduced.
00:25
And when that happens, that can result in health issues, especially for people with respiratory challenges.
00:31
So how do you access this content?
00:32

If you scroll down past the interactive maps and radar and into air quality,
00:50
that's where you have the ability to take a look at the current air quality information and tap on see more.
00:56
And I'm going to go over to New York City here.
00:58
We've got some poor air quality concerns in some spots here.
01:01
And notice we've got a circle here that indicates the quality of the air.
01:06
And more of this circle that's filled up, that means the air quality is even more problematic and more concerned.
01:13
So the 58 on AccuWeather's AQI, that's air quality index, which is a poor description.
01:19
And look, we provide not only just the description and the number, but also the impacts.
01:24
Air has reached a high level of pollution and is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
01:28
And that gives you information about some people may have difficulty breathing or face throat irritation.
01:34
And then on the right hand side of the screen you can see why is that.
01:37
While we actually have some air pollution, gas pollution that's occurring in that area.
01:42
And we describe what those impacts are so you can make the best plans.
