The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has
issued the following...

WHAT...Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke.

WHERE...Delta, Montrose, San Miguel, Ouray, Gunnison, and southern
Mesa Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Delta,
Montrose, Nucla, Telluride, Ouray and Gunnison.

WHEN...900 AM Monday July 14 to 900 AM Tuesday July 15

IMPACTS...Multiple wildfires will produce periods of moderate to
heavy smoke across the advisory area through early Tuesday
morning. The heaviest smoke impacts will likely be in close
proximity to the South Rim fire in eastern Montrose County, the
Sowbelly Fire and Turner Gulch fires in southern Mesa County, and
areas directly downwind of the Deer Creek fire in Montrose and San
Miguel Counties.

HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: If smoke is
thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood you may want to remain
indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease,
respiratory illnesses, the very young, and older adults. Consider
limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present.
Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is
making you ill. If visibility is less than 5 miles in smoke in
your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.

* WHEN...Until 11 PM CDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Some members of the general public may experience
  health effects. Sensitive groups, such as people with lung
  disease (including asthma), heart disease, and children and

  near the shores of Lake Superior. An additional round of heavy
  surface smoke from wildfires across southern Canada is expected
  to transport into northern Minnesota on Tuesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, should
avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. The general public should limit
prolonged or heavy exertion. Reduce or eliminate activities that
contribute to air pollution, such as outdoor burning, and use of
residential wood burning devices. Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle
idling as much as possible. Keep windows closed overnight to
prevent smoke from getting indoors.

of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous
outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health
effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of

northern areas with periods of Unhealthy AQI possible. Central
locations could see readings ranging from Unhealthy to USG, and
southern locations can expect levels of fine particulate in the
Moderate to USG range.

It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor
activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory
diseases like asthma. Monitor for symptoms such as wheezing,
coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and
eyes. Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air
pollution, such as:

- outdoor burning
- use of residential wood burning devices

Tips for households:

- Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors
  and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or
  higher rated filters.
