This easy-to-read, printable Outdoor Air Quality Guide Poster has recommendations for young kids to help their caregivers quickly assess when it’s safe to be active outdoors based on the Air Quality Index (AQI).

• Color-coded AQI levels with clear action guidance
• Health recommendations for outdoor activities by air quality level

Everyone may experience health issues from wildfire smoke, even people without respiratory issues. Kids are especially at risk. Reducing exposure to wildfire smoke can help protect health now and into the future. Learn how to do this by using the guide and remembering A-B-C: A for awareness of AQI and smoke-related symptoms; B for behavior change like going inside when the AQI isn't good; and C for cleaner air that an air purifier or public space can provide.
