Full Notification

An Air Quality Action Day for Particulate Matter has been declared for Thursday June 1st. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has also issued an Ozone Action Day for Ground Level Ozone, from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Friday, June 2nd, 2023. Ozone has the potential to reach the unhealthy for sensitive groups (USG) category along the I-95 corridor and in central and southern New Jersey. 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. Light variable winds, hot temperatures, and mostly sunny skies will all contribute to elevated ozone concentrations throughout the state. Fine particle concentrations will remain in the moderate category statewide. An Air Quality Advisory means that air quality within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. For more information on current and forecast concentrations of ground-level ozone and fine particulates, visit www.airnow.gov or www.state.nj.us/dep/airmon/ or call the New Jersey Bureau of Air Monitoring at 609-292-0138
