AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 11 PM EDT FRIDAY...
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued an
Ozone Action Day for Ground Level Ozone, from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT
Friday, June 2nd, 2023. Ozone has the potential to reach the
unhealthy for sensitive groups (USG) category along the I-95 corridor
and in central and southern New Jersey. Sensitive individuals,
including the very young, the elderly, and persons with respiratory
diseases such as asthma, should avoid strenuous activities during the
afternoon and early evening hours. Light variable winds, hot
temperatures, and mostly sunny skies will all contribute to elevated
ozone concentrations throughout the state. Fine particle
concentrations will remain in the moderate category statewide.
An Air Quality Advisory means that air quality within the region may
approach or exceed unhealthy standards. For more information on
current and forecast concentrations of ground-level ozone and fine
particulates, visit www.airnow.gov or www.state.nj.us/dep/airmon/ or
