PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



An Air Stagnation Advisory indicates that due to limited movement of 

an air mass across the advisory area, pollution has the potential to 

increase to dangerous levels. Persons with respiratory illness 

should follow their physicians advice for dealing with high levels 

of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, state air quality 

agencies highly recommend that no outdoor burning occur and that 

residential wood burning devices be limited as much as possible. 

According to state air quality agencies, prolonged periods of 

stagnant air can hold pollutants close to the ground, where people 

live and breathe. Check with your local burn agency for any current 

restrictions in your area.
