Depending on the day, the Cedar Hill, TX air quality can vary, much like anywhere else in the world. If you are curious as to the air quality on a particular day, you can check online to see what it’s like. There are various sources through which to do this, one being the AccuWeather site.
Here’s an example of the “current air quality” report:
“Fair. For most individuals, the air quality today is generally acceptable. However, from long-term exposure, minor to moderate symptoms may be experienced by sensitive groups.” But air quality doesn’t stop there. On the AccuWeather site, as an example, it is broken down further into categories. Let’s look at some of those here for the air quality specifically referred to above.
Ozone
Existing respiratory diseases can be aggravated by ground-level ozone. If ozone is high on a particular day it can lead to chest pain, headaches, and throat irritation. The categorization for the ozone count on this particular day was “Fair”.
Fine Particulate Matter
Serious health issues can result when pollutant particles enter the bloodstream and lungs. Particles with 2.5 micrometers or less in diameter are inhalable pollutant particulars referred to as fine particulate matter. On the day in question, the categorization was “Excellent”.
Particulate Matter
Health problems can result when inhalable pollutant particles are deposited in airways. Those referred to here are 2.5-micrometer diameter or larger, but less than 10 micrometers. On this day, the categorization reported them as being “Excellent.”
Nitrogen Dioxide
Your risk of respiratory problems can increase if nitrogen dioxide is breathed in at high levels. Common problems include breathing difficulty and coughing. The level on this day was rated “Excellent”.
Fair Versus Poor
Clearly, this was a pretty good breathing day with all of the “Excellent” categorizations seen above leading to an overall air quality categorization of “Fair”. What’s more, the forecast for the next day was also quite favorable. A couple of days later, however, rather than “Fair”, the forecasted air quality was “Poor”. What does that mean?
A “Poor” categorization air quality report means that, for sensitive groups, the air is unhealthy because it has reached a high pollution level. They recommend that if you are experiencing symptoms like throat irritation or breathing difficulty, you reduce the time you spend outside.
