Healthy Air

No. It is a scenario estimator. Use a live AQI source or sensor for current public-health decisions.

For many households, cooking smoke can dominate daily exposure even if outdoor AQI looks acceptable.

The tool follows AQI-style risk escalation and recommends N95/KN95 protection on unhealthy PM2.5 days.
