...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM NOON CDT TO 9 PM CDT
TUESDAY...

* WHAT...The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air
Quality Alert for ozone pollution. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is
expected to reach the Orange or Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
category.

* WHERE...East central and central Minnesota.

* WHEN...From noon CDT to 9 PM CDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease
(including asthma), heart disease, children and older adults, and
people who are active outdoors, may experience health effects.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Ground-level ozone is expected to be high
on Tuesday afternoon in the Twin Cities metro area and central
Minnesota. Mostly sunny skies, warm temperatures, and low
humidity will provide a favorable environment for two types of
pollutants (volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides) to
react with sunlight in the air to produce ground-level ozone.
Ozone is expected to reach unhealthy levels during the afternoon
and will subside in the early evening.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, children and older adults, and people who
are active outdoors, should limit prolonged or heavy outdoor
exertion.

Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution,
such as outdoor burning, and use of residential wood burning
devices. Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle idling as much as
possible.
