...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality
Health Advisory for Code Orange or Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
category due to Fine Particulates for much of northern and central
Vermont until 11 PM tonight.

The air quality index, or AQI, is expected to approach or exceed the
Code Orange or Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category due to Fine
Particulates.

When pollution levels are in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
category, the Vermont Department of Health recommends that these
individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to
reduce the risk of adverse health effects.

People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated
levels of pollutants include the very young, older adults, and those
with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart
disease and those working outside.

Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal
physician.

People with asthma should follow their asthma action plans and keep
quick relief medicine handy.

If you have heart disease: symptoms such as palpitations, shortness
of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious problem. If you
have any of these, contact your healthcare provider.

An Air Quality Action Day means that particulate concentrations
within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.
