Unhealthful Air Quality Forecast Due to Windblown Dust from High Winds

Dec. 9, 2008

Strong gusty Santa Ana winds will likely cause unhealthful air quality in areas of the Southland today, especially regions in and downwind of areas burned by the recent wildfires.
 
Winds may cause PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations to reach Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups concentrations in these areas.

In areas directly impacted by windblown dust, all individuals should avoid any vigorous outdoor or indoor exertion. People with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children should remain indoors.

AQMD is the air pollution control agency for Orange County and major portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
