Air Quality Advisory Issued for Northeast Ohio

Saturday, June 26, 2010 due to Ozone Concentratio

Northeast Ohio- There is potential for high ozone pollution levels Saturday, June 26, due to high-temperature conditions. Pollution may reach levels considered "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" during the afternoon or early evening hours in areas not subject to rain.

Ozone is formed by emissions from cars, trucks and industrial sources. It is most prevalent during hot, sunny, summer days with low wind speeds.Sensitive groups, including older adults, children and those with heart or respiratory conditions, are encouraged to refrain from vigorous outdoor activity or consider remaining indoors.

 
More wind and a high chance of thunderstorms are expected to ease pollution on Sunday.
Consider environmentally friendly transportation this weekend including carpooling or using public transit.
