AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM THIS MORNING TO 10 PM EDT
THIS EVENING...
The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission has issued an Air Quality
Alert for ozone pollution for Central Ohio, from 6 AM this morning
to 10 PM EDT this evening.
The Agency expects to see levels of ozone in the `unhealthy for
sensitive groups` range on the Air Quality Index. To decrease the
potential for health issues, sensitive groups of people (children,
elderly, people with asthma or COPD) should limit prolonged or
strenuous outdoor activity.
On Air Quality Alert days, everyone can help reduce ozone formation
by taking the following actions:
* Take the bus, carpool, bike or walk instead of driving alone.
Visit www.gohiocommute.com/morpc for more information.
* Refuel your vehicle after 8 PM; do not top off when refueling
and tighten the gas cap.
* Do not idle your vehicle; exhaust contributes to the formation
of ozone pollution.
* Avoid use of gas-powered lawn equipment on Air Quality
Alert days.
