Tuesday, July 8, 2014  An Air Quality Action Day is forecast in our
region for today (Tuesday, July 8, 2014).

URGENT!

Here are several simple steps to take TODAY to prevent pollution:

• Combine errands into a single trip.
• Postpone unnecessary trips.
• Take the subway, bus or train instead of driving.
• Avoid letting your vehicle idle, such as at the drive-thru.
• Forward this message to family and friends.
• Avoid operating gas-powered gardening equipment such as lawn mowers on Air Quality Action Days. Wait for a day when air quality is better.

The New York State Department of Transportation has declared that today, Tuesday, July 8, 2014, is an Air Quality Action Day in the downstate metro area due to forecasted high levels of ground-level ozone pollution in parts of the region (please visit the Clean Air NY Web site for more information http://cleanairny.org/DoYourPart.html). While today is still a day when people can go about most of their normal activities, such as going to work, driving may be one of the most polluting activities that people do today, and we encourage everyone to leave their cars at home if possible.

Ground-level ozone is a respiratory irritant that can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate emphysema, bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. Children, people with pre-existing respiratory or heart conditions, people doing strenuous outdoor work or exercise and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to the effects of ozone.

Clean Air NY is sponsored by the New York State Department of Transportation in support of regionwide air-quality efforts.
