Today, air quality across the Los Angeles region is rated as good, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) consistently below 50 in most areas. Central Los Angeles County has an AQI of 44, while Northwest Coastal Los Angeles is at 33 and Southwest Los Angeles County is at 30. The primary pollutant in these sectors is PM2.5, but ozone is the main factor in some locations. Conditions are expected to remain stable throughout the day, so residents can expect clean air well within healthful standards.

In the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, AQI values stay within the good range, with the West San Fernando Valley at 47 and the East San Gabriel Valley slightly higher at 90, registering in the moderate category due to ozone. While this is still acceptable for most individuals, the moderate range means that unusually sensitive people should consider limiting prolonged outdoor exertion.

Forecasts indicate that air pollution levels will remain low, with very little risk to health for the general population. People across Los Angeles, from coastal communities to inland neighborhoods, can enjoy outdoor activities, exercise, and events without concern for elevated pollution. No special precautions are needed for children, seniors, or those with chronic respiratory conditions, except perhaps during brief moderate periods in the eastern valleys.

The stable, clean-air trend is in part due to favorable weather that prevents the buildup of smog-forming compounds. There are no advisories or warnings in effect for any Los Angeles area today. Air quality monitors continue to report real-time values in the good range, affirming that both short- and long-term exposure risks remain minimal for all groups.

For today, Los Angeles enjoys one of its best air quality days of the season, offering clear skies and healthy air from the coastline to the valley communities[1].
