Air quality is impacted by PM2.5 particles, a consequence of wildfires and fossil fuel burning. These particles are the smallest and one of the most dangerous pollutants in the air. The World Health Organization uses seven colours to communicate the air quality risk associated with concentrations of PM2.5.

BLUE (meets WHO PM2.5 guideline). GREEN (exceeds guideline by 1 to 2 times). YELLOW (exceeds guideline by 2 to 3 times). ORANGE (exceeds guideline by 3 to 5 times). RED (exceeds guideline by 5 to 7 times). PURPLE (exceeds guideline by 7 to 10 times). MAROON (exceeds guideline by over 10 times). Behind bold colours, dark cataclysms lurk.
