| Brief Description | Air Quality Alert | |
| Detailed Description | The Maine Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Air Quality has issued an Air Quality Alert for particle pollution until midnight EDT Wednesday night. Particle pollution levels are expected to rise into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range on Tuesday. Values are already in the USG range this morning. Smoke is currently expected to not move out of Maine until Thursday, though this denser portion of the plume should move out by Thursday. In addition, particle pollution levels are expected to be moderate for the remainder of the state while ozone level are expected in the moderate range for the Maine coastal regions. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, the elderly, those with pre-existing respiratory problems such as asthma, those with heart disease and anyone who is working hard outdoors. But if you experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, throat irritation or an uncomfortable sensation in your chest please consider limiting the intensity and duration of your outdoor activities. A toll free air quality hotline has been established so Maine residents can stay informed on the air quality situations. The toll free number is: 1-800-223-1196. Additionally the Maine Department of Environmental Protection has the air quality forecast available on the web at www.maine.gov/dep/air/aqforecast. |
