Advisory

Air Quality Alert until 11:00PM

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued a Code Orange Air Quality Action Day for Ground Level Ozone, until 7 PM EDT this evening. Sensitive individuals, including the very young, the elderly, and persons with respiratory diseases such as asthma, should avoid strenuous activities during the afternoon and evening hours. Strong high pressure with hot temperatures well into the 90s, sunny skies, and light winds will allow ozone levels to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) category along and south of the I-95 corridor. Fine particulate levels will remain in the moderate category. An Air Quality Advisory means that air quality within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards for some individuals. 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
