...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT... The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for Code Orange or 151 due to Fine Particulates for Caledonia, Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, Essex, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, and Washington Counties until midnight EDT tonight. The air quality index, or AQI, is expected to approach or exceed the Code None or 151 due to Fine Particulates. When pollution levels are in the 151, the Vermont Department of Health recommends that these individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, older adults, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease and those working outside. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician. People with asthma should follow their asthma action plans and keep quick relief medicine handy. If you have heart disease: symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious problem. If you have any of these, contact your healthcare provider. An Air Quality Action Day means that particulate concentrations within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.
