Better Air Quality

I was curious how far air pollution levels had fallen in the South Coast due to coronavirus, so I plotted up 24-hour average PM2.5 levels (Particulate Matter less than 2.5 micron diameter) for a normally fairly-polluted site (Long Beach) for the last month.

It looks like typical levels have fallen about half, from 14 to 7 ug/m3.
