I’d suggesting visiting. This sub sees weekly complaints about the air quality, but I personally don’t perceive any problems with the air on air days. Don’t base this decision on anyone else’s sensitives but your own.

Our air quality is objectively bad, regardless of how you think it smells. There’s plenty of data to back that up.

Being bad on a meter and being a concern are different things. If I don’t notice it then it’s not really a problem for me.

This is the right answer. The only time I can remember ever smelling something in the air was when there was that inversion during Christmas in 2019. Other than that, I've never noticed a smell to the air unless there was a bus or truck directly nearby giving off diesel exhaust.

As a transplant, I can immediately notice if the air quality is worse on some days than others. Literally as soon as I walk outside. It is because you are used to it.

I'm not sure where you live, but I'm also not in one of those spots that will get a smell or issues from the coke works.

As a transplant, I can say I haven't noticed worse air quality any day that I've been here despite numerous posts on this sub to the contrary (I'm in Brookline).

You might be a person with above average sensitivity. I have a friend who got choked up when they had a minor spot of mold pop up in their bathroom.

I may also be biased because I transplanted from LA so the air quality here even on bad days is an improvement to what I used to live in. Though I can't say I've seen smog in the air.

I think it is down to how sensitive you are. I have allergies and asthma, so I do tend to have issues during the alerts. However, it’s only recently that there have been a lot of alerts at a frustrating level.
