Standing at the stadium. It seems like I'm in a bonfire and feels worse. Much much worse than Palo Alto

Thank You Ken Montgomery I was in Berkeley all day and was feeling sick so I had to come home. My son XXXXX was telling me how bad it was breathing the air at practice the whole week.
You are in the stadium? Take a pic and post if you can. tx.Sebastabear said:

It is indeed 170 and it's criminal to proceed.bearister said:
170 now. Clearly no wind to blow it East of the Caldecott Tunnel.

It feels not so bad at North Berkeley like the last few days at this time. But hey the AQI is still at 170 at 6 pm, what do I know.

well at least Chancellor Christ showed. If you're going to give this game the green light, then you better be out there.
If anything my head is heavier today after four days of acclimation....B.A. Bearacus said:
BChem, wonder if you've acclimated to it a bit, to the extent that's possible? Maybe more of a factor tnite for WSU for this reason? Wonderin' out loud.
No kidding. I've had a headache all dang day.BearChemist said:

Well that is interesting selection of data.OaktownBear said:wifeisafurd said:Okay, let me be technical. EPA calculates the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particle pollution (also known as particulate matter), carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxid. FWIW, smog usually has more ozone, but otherwise the numbers from fire smoke and smog are pretty close, unless their is an unusual fire source like tires. The engineers can provide more technical answers, but the bad stuff your breathing is relatively the same. If Berkley is showing 172 at game time, I don't think the game goes. Usually though, the AQI plummets during evening hours, which is why UCLA can play summer games in Pasadena for example.Sebastabear said:
Berkeley showing 172 right now. And totally agree with the above. This is not "smog". Even down here (reading at 115) you can tell this is some nasty stuff to breathe. A bad day of car pollution this ain't.
The number of days that Pasadena exceeded federal standards for particulates in September of the years 2003-2010 was zero.
No not all the "bad stuff" is the same.
The game will go at 172. Cal has made it clear. Again in their latest release they said the area hasn't exceeded the NCAA guidelines (200) all week.
How many times are you going to misspell "Berkeley" on a Cal board?
Where are you getting data for 7pm at 7:35pm?BearChemist said:
7pm AQI is out: Compared to last couple days <120 it still remain at 162. Though people promised it would go down to 80 tonight at KO. Guess what, we are Cal and we got no off shore flow on gameday like this.

As far as I'm aware BAAQMD provides the AQI data for the Bay Area to all the different websites (including airnow.gov) and their data is delayed by a couple hours. Many of the sites list the current time rather than the time for the data so it can be confusing.
As I write this BAAQMD's most recent numbers are for 5pm. http://50.57.200.217/about-air-quality/current-air-quality/air-monitoring-data?DataViewFormat=daily&DataView=aqi&StartDate=&ParameterId=316
number is now over 170 and TV said there is worse air ahead. Given the standards, they really ned to rethink proceeding. Usual drop didn't occur. Only at Cal.JadenceBear said:Where are you getting data for 7pm at 7:35pm?BearChemist said:

I'm more than ok with losing any kid (and his family) who decides that they can't attend Cal because of this.

Berkeley including the hills is showing as a yellow zone ("moderate" air quality, under 100) as of 11pm on the AIRNow map. Same as SF and Marin.glutton said:
AQI still 163 at 10pm per Weatherbug:
