Beijing AQI

When we landed into a cloud of smog, Joshua noted, "There is a lot of carbon dioxide out there." Well, technically it's not CO2, but he's got the right idea. I was immediately grateful that Annette brought those three air purifiers with us.

We monitor the Beijing Air Quality Index (AQI), and have noticed that it seems to have a circadian rhythm varying with the wind patterns.

The air quality in Beijing has been surprisingly good and really hasn't been as bad as I was expecting. I even contemplated going on a run yesterday, except it was 91 degrees outside.
