...AIR QUALITY ALERT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM 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, until 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
