The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued this year’s first Spare the Air Health Alertfor tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21. There is no free transit tomorrow and there is no wood burning ban in place. Everyone is encouraged to drive less and reduce their energy use.
“Pollution in our air every day creates smog when temperatures are high,” said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Air District. “This alert is a reminder to us all that we must reduce the amount of pollution we generate every day to avoid unhealthy air when the weather turns hot.”
Motor vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, industrial emissions and household chemicals contain volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides that combine with oxygen in the presence of heat and sunlight to form ground-level ozone. Breathing ozone can cause throat irritation, congestion and chest pain. It can trigger asthma, inflame the lining of the lungs and worsen bronchitis and emphysema.
