...PM-10 HIGH POLLUTION ADVISORY FOR THE YUMA AREA TUESDAY...
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a
PM-10 High Pollution Advisory for the Yuma area on Tuesday.
An episode of strong and gusty winds is forecast to generate
widespread blowing dust that may result in local PM-10
concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects
increase as air quality deteriorates.
Coarse particulate matter - also known as PM-10 - 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.
Consolidate your travel, stabilize loose soils, slow down or avoid
travel on dirt roads, reduce or eliminate fireplace use, and avoid
using gas-powered lawn equipment.
For details on this High Pollution Advisory, visit the ADEQ internet
site at www.azdeq.gov/forecast/yuma or call 602-771-2300.

...AIR QUALITY ALERT: MANDATORY WOOD-BURNING BAN IN EFFECT...
* WHAT...The South Coast AQMD has issued a mandatory wood-burning
ban for residents in the South Coast Air Basin. The No-Burn rule
bans burning wood, pellets, and manufactured fire logs in any indoor
or outdoor wood-burning device.
* WHERE...The South Coast Air Basin, which includes Orange County
and non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San
Bernardino counties. No-Burn Day alerts do not apply to areas above
3,000 feet in elevation, the Coachella Valley, or the High Desert.
Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income
households and those without natural gas service also are exempt
from the requirement.
* WHEN...Monday, January 6, 2025.
* IMPACTS...Particles in smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause
health problems (including asthma attacks), increases in emergency
room visits, and hospitalizations. No-Burn Days are needed to
protect public health when fine particle pollution levels are
expected to be high anywhere in the South Coast Air Basin. No-Burn
Days are based on fine particle pollution levels that are forecasted
for an entire 24-hour period, which may not be reflected in real-
time air quality maps.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
To protect your health, check current and forecasted air quality
levels at www.aqmd.gov or download the mobile app at
www.aqmd.gov/mobileapp. When air quality is poor in your area,
limited extended or intense outdoor activity and remain inside with
windows and doors closed. Run your air conditioner and/or an air
purifier and avoid using devices that bring in outside air like a
swamp cooler or whole house fan if you have other ways to stay cool.
Additional details for this air quality alert are available at
