Concentrations shown on the SLO APCD forecast webpage reflect data from SLO APCD official monitoring stations. Additional monitoring data is available from the AIRNOW webpage. Select the AIRNOW website. Hover over the Fires banner in the upper part of the AIR NOW home page, then select Fires and Smoke Map from the drop down menu. The Fires and Smoke Map page has data from SLO APCD official monitoring stations (circles) and sensor data (squares). Sensors are operated by individuals (public) and some are operated by the SLO APCD and other government agencies. There is also information on smoke plumes on this page. There can be very significant differences in air quality over small distances, especially during a wildfire event when smoke impacts are significant. Conditions can change rapidly when smoke plumes are present. SLO APCD official monitoring stations measure different parameters. For example, the Carrizo Plains and Red Hills monitoring stations only measure ozone. Nipomo CDF and Nipomo Mesa2 monitoring stations only measure particulate matter. San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, Atascadero and Paso Robles monitoring stations measure ozone and particulate.
