数字是准确的，但是描述不准确，38 严重污染？

这一版的插件代码有bug —— “空气质量数值和污染程度的文案错乱，总是显示严重污染”，修复办法如下： 1. 找到插件路径，例如macos，~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/hhhfnanaabgcafkmlplbifbhknnbmidl，拷贝到其他地方并打开； 2. 将build目录下的 popup.bundles.js 的 r[n(t = r[n(t)])].trim() 替换为 r[n(t)].trim() 3. 打开chrome扩展管理，加载已解压的扩展程序，添加已修改的插件根目录即可。
