2. I'm at a D here in San Jose
I thought it was rather nice today, but with all the fossil fuel being burnt it does get nasty.

3. Ozone --
Particle grade B

Probably because it is agricultural, still very nice out here in the country.

5. It goes by county
Air quality can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, let alone different sections of a county. Helpful to give you a clue that the biggest city in your county has a problem, if you didn't know. Otherwise, not so helpful.

-------------------

But I live in a rural town, so there's no way there are 654,753 people living here.
Something seems a little 'off'. I guess they're including the whole county in that
Pop. number. This is a huge county but has a lot of highways running through it.
I don't live near a highway... a huge one. Just a regular two way street.
I'm guessing it's high at certain times during the day though, like rush hour.
