Ongoing stagnant weather conditions combined with existing airborne fine particulate levels may result in local fine particle concentrations that pose a health risk.
Fine particulate matter - also known as PM-2.5 - is an air contaminant that can aggravate heart and lung disease conditions, especially in older adults, children, and those with asthma. A decrease in physical activity is recommended.
