Saturday, Feb 13, 2010 will be a Knozone Air Quality Action Day for Fine Particles. Visit www.cleanairmatters.org for more information. Fine Particle readings are currently elevated and we expect them to stay high through Saturday. Fine particles (soot) are released into the air when fuels like coal, natural gas, gasoline and diesel motor vehicle fuels, oil and wood are burned. Many scientific studies have associated fine particle pollution with serious health problems, such as aggravated heart and lung disease. Children, the elderly and people already suffering from heart or lung disease are especially vulnerable to its effects. What can you do to help? Simple steps like turning off your car’s engine whenever possible, limiting the burning of firewood, combining you errands into one trip or carpooling to work help clean the air. By working together, we can make a visible difference to central Indiana’s air quality! Learn what you can do at www.cleanairmatters.org |
