...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties:

Fairfield

 from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Friday.

Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level
Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to
correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher
the AQI value, the greater the health concern.

When pollution levels are elevated, the Connecticut Department of
Energy and Environmental Protection 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 elevated levels of pollutants include the
very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as
asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider
consulting their personal physician.
