...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 8 PM EDT

THIS EVENING...



The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) has

issued a Code Orange Ground Level Ozone Action Day for the Upstate

region of South Carolina, from 10 AM this morning to 8 PM EDT this

evening.



Dominant high pressure will make sure cloud cover will be minimal,

atmospheric moisture will remain relatively low, and winds will be

light. These factors will allow for sufficient ozone production,

compounding with weak pollutant dispersion characteristics of an

already pollutant-loaded atmosphere.



An ozone action day means that atmospheric conditions will likely 

produce unhealthy concentrations of ground level ozone air pollution.

A Code Orange forecast indicates that ground level ozone

concentrations are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups, 

which includes people with lung disease, older adults, and children. 

Sensitive groups should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, 

take more breaks, and do less intense activities, especially during 

afternoon and early evening hours. You can help prevent ozone 

pollution by walking or riding your bicycle, taking your lunch to 

work, reducing idling, conserving energy, and keeping your vehicle 

properly tuned. For additional information, please visit the South 

Carolina Department of Environmental Services website at
