As of 9:50 a.m. on Tuesday, air quality in San Francisco, Marin, Petaluma and the Walnut Creek area hovered in the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” category – meaning that children, seniors and people with medical challenges should consider avoiding prolonged outdoor exertion. Berkeley, Oakland and the Peninsula had generally moderate air quality.
