Smoke from forest fires in Northern California is the culprit.
As nasty as the air it looks, Tracie Douglas of the Washoe District Health Department said the pollution is less than half the worst reading of last week.
The air-pollution index reading Thursday afternoon was 45, which is the high end of the good range. Last week had ratings of 97 and 81, both in the moderate range. Unhealthful begins at 101.
