The Code Orange alert means the air pollution concentrations can be unhealthy to sensitive groups of individuals.
The Susquehanna Valley and other parts of Pennsylvania are now under a Code Orange air quality alert for ozone through midnight Sunday.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection issued the alert at 3:30 p.m. Saturday for Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and York counties. Code Orange means air pollution concentrations in the region may become unhealthy for sensitive groups including children, people with asthma, heart disease or other lung diseases or the elderly, according toThe department encourages people avoid strenuous activity or exercising outdoors to minimize the effects of the air pollution..
Mostly sunny skies, temperatures approaching 90 degrees, and winds from the south and southwest will likely contribute to 8-hour average concentrations of ozone in the Code Orange range on Sunday. Residents are encouraged to checkOzone is formed when airborne chemicals like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide react with sunlight.
Residents and businesses within the Air Quality Action Day areas are strongly encouraged to voluntarily help reduce ozone air pollution by:Combining errands to reduce vehicle trips;Conserving electricity by setting air conditioning to a higher temperature and turning off lights that are not in use.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
