Air Quality Alert issued June 28 at 9:37AM EDT by NWS State College PA
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has expanded
the Code RED Air Quality Alert to cover all of Central Pennsylvania,
including the Susquehanna Valley, through 8 AM Thursday.
Poor air quality may linger through the day Thursday as light wind
and limited vertical mixing of the smoke occurs.
A code RED air quality alert means that air pollution concentrations
may be unhealthy for some members of the general public. Members of
sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects. Sensitive
groups include people with heart or lung disease, older adults,
children and teenagers, and outdoor workers.
The effects of air pollution can be minimized by avoiding or
reducing long or intense outdoor activities. For more information on
