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

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has
issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties:

New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk,
Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam.

 from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Thursday.

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 New York State Department 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
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.

A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York
residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll
free number is 1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5.

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

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection`s
Air Quality Action Day remains in effect for the following counties:

Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex, and Union,

until 11 PM EDT this evening.

An Air Quality Action Day means that Ground Level Ozone within the
region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. Sensitive
individuals, including the very young, the elderly, and persons with
respiratory diseases such as asthma, should avoid strenuous
activities during the afternoon and early evening hours. Partly
cloudy skies, accompanied by light surface winds and high
temperatures, will create a favorable environment for ozone levels
to rise into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) category in
northern and central portions of the state. Lingering Canadian
wildfire smoke may also help to enhance surface ozone levels.
