Northeast
Ohio: An Air Quality
Advisory for fine particles and
ozone has been issued for
Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake,
Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit
Counties. The advisory will be
effective from Wednesday afternoon
through Thursday afternoon. Air
quality levels will be 'unhealthy
for sensitive groups' during this
period.
|
|
If
you are in the 'Sensitive Groups'
category of children, the elderly
and those with breathing
difficulties, please monitor your
outdoor activity and
check live map of air quality
readings.
|
|
The
combination of hot temperatures and
high humidity will create a
situation in which heat illnesses
are possible on Wednesday, July 4,
2012. If you are in sensitive
groups, drink plenty of water &
stay out of the sun. The weather
conditions favor the accumulation
of air pollutants resulting in both
ozone and fine particulate
pollution in the atmosphere. Please
limit your outdoor activities if
you are in sensitive
groups.

pollutants.
