Current air quality and satellite-observed smoke

Nearest EPA AirNow monitors and NOAA HMS smoke polygons at a point for agents. Reports monitor distance, AQI category, source freshness, and smoke density. Not wildfire hazard: locus_wildfire_risk (modeled), locus_wildfire_history (perimeters). No nearby monitor is not good air; never ties AQI to a fire or scores safe/unsafe. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.
