## extract

Air Quality Alert — Northern St. Lawrence; Northern Franklin; Eastern Clinton; Southeastern St. Lawrence; Southern Franklin; Western Clinton; Western Essex; Eastern Essex; Southwestern St. Lawrence
Severity: Unknown. Certainty: Unknown.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at
Albany NY has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for fine
particulate until midnight EDT Thursday night.

Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an air quality index value of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
category for fine particulate. The air quality index, or AQI, was
created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants
to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health
concern.

When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of
Health recommends that 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 and those with
pre existing respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease.
Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal
physician.

For additional information, please visit the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation website at,

535-1345.
