Summertime has arrived in Chicago, with street festivals and outdoor activities galore kicking off all over the city. CDPH encourages everyone to get outside and move around this summer, but make sure to do so safely. As the weather warms up it’s always important to take the proper precautions in the heat – drink lots of water, limit outdoor activity when the heat rises above 90 degrees, and make sure to wear sunscreen when spending extended time outside. Open Air Chicago is a citywide project consisting of 277 air sensors collecting air quality information for Chicago communities and residents. CDPH issues Air Quality Alerts when conditions become unhealthy in Chicago, and anyone can access Open Air Chicago’s 24-hour data at any time by visiting the Clarity Map online. Exerting yourself outdoors when air quality is poor can be hazardous to your health; breathe easy by keeping an eye on Chicago’s air quality this summer. For more information, visit www.chicago.gov
