unexpected weather conditions or, you know, during points of the season where air gets kind of like trapped in urban environments that it becomes really problematic.
So what you're really doing in that situation is identifying the few days where it's in your health interest to skip that hike or that outdoor run or whatever it is that you were going to do and otherwise get reassurance that the days that, you know, let's say 90, 95% of them, things are clean, you're fine doing what you're doing.

And I think the other part of this that's important is that recognition that you are actually fine the overwhelming majority of the time.

Yeah, because we had significant rain a couple of days.

Well, in the case of Apple specifically, I think maybe two weeks ago, I don't know exactly the date. They actually started adding from external sources what the actual particle counts are. So click on the AQI. OK. And you will see if you scroll down, pollutant details. So we get carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen oxide.

So that's basically having an old school discussion about smog and kind of the air pollutants. I think in today's world, we're really more interested in the particulates under 10 micrometers and then the particulates under two and a half micrometers. We don't get VOCs on here.

You know, but it's a pretty safe assumption that, you know, in the two and a half range specifically, that's where the majority of data or danger lies, because things like lithium, arsenic, cadmium, you know, dioxins, benzenes, they all travel in that particle mass. Luckily, there are even without a meter, very publicly available, more precise data points that you can look at.

The problem with something like an air quality index, which is just the number, is you don't know if they're basing that number based on the carbon monoxide or if they're basing it on the PM two and a half. So luckily, they've updated the apps and giving you really nice information on there.
