Last month’s review
This April had some warm and dry spells in the middle of the month. This resulted in six “moderate” air quality days.
The main sources of air pollution in the neighborhood are cars and trucks. Over 250,000 vehicles, including 20,000 trucks, drive by on I-5 and I-90 each day.
Air pollution can have serious impacts on human health, such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma and more.
Did you know?
May is bike everywhere month. With the nicer weather, Seattle residents take tens of thousands of more bike trips in May than April, which means less cars on the road!
