LA Air Quality

Today I looked outside and noticed it was a bit smoggier than normal. Gone are the nice, crisp, clear days of winter as the summer fog and smog season approaches. Since I was recently diagnosed with asthma, air quality has been on my mind quite a bit. If you ever wonder about the current air quality or forecast for Los Angeles, you can find it here thanks to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.

An interesting fact I found on the website is that the long term air quality trend in Los Angeles has been one of improvement, especially thanks to technological advances such as catalytic converters. Contrast this with global CO2 averages, which have of course been trending upward.
