Everyone can be affected, but sensitive groups such as people with
lung or heart disease, older adults, people who are pregnant,
children, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are at greater
risk.

* When Air Quality Index (AQI) levels are "Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups" (orange), sensitive groups as specified
above should limit extended or intense outdoor activity.

outdoor physical activity.

* Keep windows and doors closed
* Run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier
* Do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in
outside air if you have other methods to stay cool
* Avoid other sources of pollution such as fireplaces, candles,
