Northeast
Ohio: An Air Quality
Advisory for fine particles has
been issued for Ashtabula,
Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain,
Medina, Portage and Summit
Counties. The advisory will be
effective on Wednesday,
November 21, 2012. Air quality
levels will be 'unhealthy for
sensitive groups' during peak
periods.

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

High
pressure over Northeast Ohio along
with temperature inversion
conditions will result in haze and
fine particle pollution. Breathing
fine particles can aggravate
asthma, bronchitis, and other
chronic lung
diseases.
