Ground level ozone may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. Air Quality Index values for ground level ozone in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than 100.
The New York State Department of Health 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, and those with pre-existing respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician.
A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll free number is: 1-800 535-1345.
