Interesting question!

Well, I am, or was, into going out until some wise guy pointed me towards Air Visual, the air quality app, and found it very alarming. Not sure what everyone else thinks about this. I mean, I'm into anything outdoors, running, walking and enjoying the warm winter weather..until i started checking this daily!

Not sure what anyone else thinks about it.

Tbere is also this website that give you real time air quality readings online. Not quite sure what they are meausing..is it toxic levels of particular gasses or just ambient particles?
Any comments anyone? I am a more worried about my kids to be honest.

It appears to be explained in their FAQ:

Your concern is understandable. I also have a small kid, and at any signs of respiratory problems or asthma I will probably be out of here. Luckily I haven't noticed any issues with me or him, but my wife has been having constant issues ever since she came to the country.
