## extract

Air Quality Alert — Bennington; Western Windham; Eastern Windham
Severity: Unknown. Certainty: Unknown.
The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality
Action Day for Fine Particulates, from 6 AM Thursday to 11 PM EDT
Thursday night.

An Air Quality Action Day means that Fine Particulates
concentrations within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy
standards.

Children and older adults, as well as people with heart or lung
disease, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion. Exposure to
elevated levels of fine particles such as wood smoke can increase
the likelihood of respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals and
aggravate heart or lung disease.
