Eh what am I looking at?
Click on EARTH button bottom left. There you can choose different readings (Mode | Air ā Ocean ā Chem ā Particulates).
For example this one is for PM2.5
-
Taiwan, which usually suffers from bad air quality caused by foreign sources from October to April of the following year.
-
the AQI in Mailiao and Lunbei of Yunlin County also flashed a āvery unhealthyā purpleā¦ did not give an explanation for Mailiao and Lunbeiās health-threatening AQI, but locals usually attribute it to coal-fired power plants and petrochemical manufacturing plants in the area.
PURPLE is 300. Healthy is below 50.
The air tonight in Taipei and New Taipei is absolute shite! Whatās going on?
thereās a wind tunnel coming from Shanghai. While most of it gets channeled in the strait, it still has a bad effect on Northern Taiwan
Is the air quality lousy today? I have a headache and my body feels like cr@p.
Todayās location: in Taipei City, in Gongguan.

Better than most of China
Things could be a lot worse. AQI in Deli is over 999!!!
I guess Iām gonna have to hold off on buying that hot pastrami sandwich then!
South of Taichung is pretty bad right now.
I was in Zuoying last Friday. The reading was 152 for that area at that time but that didnāt seem to discourage some lady to burn some paper on Minzu 1st Roadā¦
But hey, we have surgical masks readily available everywhere!
The disconnects between parts of peopleās lives here are at times truly staggering.

Iām seeing a really scary forecast for Sunday. Stay indoors!
On a related note, Iāve got a winter allergy for the first time in my life. Comes and goes just like during the spring. Iām sure itās the pollution. Gets worse on the bad air days.
Oh crap - in the 200s?! Iām seeing that too. Letās hope thatās not an accurate forecast.
How are you seeing air pollution forecast? Phone app or website?
I only see real time with the tools Iām using.
Scroll down. I can see it with my phone or on my computer. Never seen that color for Taipei before!
Doh.
???
Why canāt I get info for Taipei? What am I doing wrong?
