  • Q10
    Air quality alerts are public health warnings about dangerous air quality. The alerts are color coded as shown in the table. In the summer meteorologists often issue an air quality alert if the forecast calls for calm winds/high humidity/and warm temperatures. On these days the sky becomes hazier and visibility decreases as the day progresses. The number of particles in the air determines the air quality which determines the color of the alert. Which circumstances would MOST likely have the greatest number of days with alerts of yellow or worse?
    Question Image
    larger cities where commuters rely on mass transit systems
    smaller agricultural communities with very little traffic
    smaller towns with few large industries or commuters
    larger cities where commuters rely on personal cars
