Air quality in Londrina right now
Right now the modelled US Air Quality Index for Londrina, Paraná, Brazil is 48, which falls in the "Good" band (up to 50). Air quality is satisfactory and poses little or no risk; a good time for outdoor activity.
The index is driven mainly by PM2.5, whose own sub-index is 48. Fine and coarse particles come from traffic, heating, industry, dust and smoke; they build up on calm nights and clear when wind or rain arrives.
PM2.5 is 6.5 µg/m³, within the WHO 24-hour guideline of 15 µg/m³; PM10 is 6.8 µg/m³ against a guideline of 45; ozone is 86 µg/m³ (below the WHO 8-hour level of 100); nitrogen dioxide is 2.2 µg/m³ (below the 24-hour guideline of 25).
Also this hour: UV index 0.8, carbon monoxide 242 µg/m³.
NASA FIRMS shows 1 fire hotspot within 300 km in the last day (nearest about 282 km), but particle levels are not elevated enough to point to smoke right now.
