FORECAST: Ozone levels will be in the MODERATE to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups* range this week. PM-10 (coarse Particulate Matter) will be in the MODERATE range.
An OZONE HEALTH WATCH has been issued for Thursday, May 15, 2008. Strong southwesterly winds on Monday may produce elevated particulate levels and carry ozone into the region with an Ozone High Pollution Advisory possible on Tuesday. A PM-10 “Health Watch” for “Sensitive Groups” is in effect on Monday (May 12.) Both ozone and PM-10 should stay in the “Moderate” range through the end of the week. No rain is forecast to help wash the Valley’s air clean. (*Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups: Active children and adults, and people with lung disease such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.) |
