After the AQI reached 218, a reading indicating heavy pollution, around 8am this morning it dipped below 200, or moderately polluted, by 2pm. PM2.5 particles reached more than 160 micrograms per cubic meter, according to the monitoring center. PM2.5 particles are small enough to become lodged deep in the lungs and can lead to increased respiratory problems.
