The team over at the Alabama Partners for Clean Air has posted a Code Orange Air Quality Alert for today for Jefferson and Shelby Counties.
The offending pollutant is particulates. We used to call it smog. I guess we still cause it haze.
But it is dangerous to people with sensitive lungs.
Some action sthat you can take today to help the situations:
1. carpool or take public transportation.
2. Combine errands into one trip.
3. Postpone unnecessary travel.
4. Avoid drive thru windows to limit idling your engine.
5. Mow the lawn another day.
