...CODE ORANGE OZONE HEALTH ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL SUNSET...

The Shelby County Health Department has issued a Code Orange Ozone
Health Advisory effective for Shelby County Tennessee, Crittenden
County Arkansas, and DeSoto County Mississippi, including the city
of Memphis that will remain in effect until sunset. This ozone health
advisory is due to monitored ozone values that are unhealthy for
sensitive groups. These values have exceeded the Environmental
Protection Agency's federal safe health standard. The Shelby County
Health Department recommends that sensitive groups which include
active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease,
such as asthma, limit prolonged outdoor exertion.

Please continue to check the latest air quality forecasts and updates
until monitored values return to safe levels. For more information go
