an air mass across the advisory area, pollution has the potential to
increase to dangerous levels. Persons with respiratory illness
should follow their physicians advice for dealing with high levels
of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, state air quality
agencies highly recommend that no outdoor burning occur and that
residential wood burning devices be limited as much as possible.
According to state air quality agencies, prolonged periods of
stagnant air can hold pollutants close to the ground, where people
live and breathe. Check with your local burn agency for any current
restrictions in your area.
