The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has issued a Code Orange Air Quality Alert for Tuesday, June 30, as hot, sunny weather is expected to cause elevated ozone levels during the afternoon.
Children, older adults, and people with asthma or other respiratory conditions are encouraged to limit prolonged or strenuous outdoor activity.
Residents can help reduce ozone pollution by limiting vehicle trips, avoiding unnecessary idling, refueling after dusk, and conserving electricity when possible.
