...AIR QUALITY ALERT DUE TO HARMFUL FINE PARTICLE POLLUTION LEVELS...

* WHAT...The South Coast AQMD has issued an air quality alert due to
harmful levels of fine particle pollution.

* WHERE...Most of Los Angeles County. Levels of particle pollution
  can vary by time and location depending on emissions and local
  weather conditions.

* WHEN...5 PM July 4th through 11:59 PM July 5th.

* IMPACTS...Particle pollution can get deep into the lungs and cause
  serious health problems such as heart attacks, bronchitis, asthma
  attacks, and difficulty breathing. 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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

To protect your health, check air quality levels and act as needed:

* When Air Quality Index (AQI) levels are "Unhealthy for Sensitive
   Groups" (orange), sensitive groups as specified above should
   limit extended or intense outdoor activity.
* When AQI is "Unhealthy" (red), everyone may experience health
   impacts. Sensitive groups should avoid extended time outdoors.
* When AQI is "Very Unhealthy" (purple), sensitive groups should
   avoid all outdoor physical activity. Everyone else should avoid
   extended or intense outdoor activity.
* When AQI is "Hazardous" (maroon), everyone should avoid all
   outdoor physical activity.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

To help keep indoor air clean when air quality is poor:

* 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,
   incense, grilling, and gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment
