The South Coast AQMD has issued an air quality alert in the South Coast Air Basin due to high levels of fine particle pollution. The air quality alert is in effect from 5 PM Thursday through Friday evening. Exposure to particle pollution can cause serious health problems, aggravate heart and lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute bronchitis, and increase risk of respiratory infections. People with respiratory or heart disease, older adults, and children are particularly susceptible. Check air quality levels and take appropriate action as needed. When air quality index (AQI) levels are Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (orange), people with heart or lung disease, pregnant women, children, and older adults should limit prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion. When air quality reaches Unhealthy (red) AQI levels, everyone may experience adverse health effects and sensitive groups should avoid prolonged time outdoors. At Very Unhealthy (purple) AQI levels, sensitive groups should avoid all outdoor physical activity and everyone else should avoid prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion. To help keep indoor air clean during periods of poor air quality, close all windows and doors and run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier. If possible, do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in outside air. Avoid burning wood in your fireplace or firepit and minimize sources of indoor air pollution such as candles, incense, pan-frying, and grilling. Limit the use of gasoline powered lawn and garden equipment.
