The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) has issued a Code Orange Ground Level Ozone Action Day for the Upstate region region of South Carolina, until midnight EDT tonight. An ozone action day means that atmospheric conditions will likely produce unhealthy concentrations of ground level ozone air pollution. A Code Orange forecast indicates that ground level ozone concentrations are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups, which includes people with lung disease, older adults, and children. Sensitive groups should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, take more breaks, and do less intense activities, especially during afternoon and early evening hours. You can help prevent ozone pollution by walking or riding your bicycle, taking your lunch to work, reducing idling, conserving energy, and keeping your vehicle properly tuned.

The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) has issued a Code Orange Action Day for fine particulates and ozone for the Upstate region region of South Carolina. The Air Quality Alert for fine particulates is in effect until midnight EDT Thursday night, while the alert for ozone is in effect from 10 AM until 8 PM Thursday. Southerly winds on the west side of high pressure centered just off the Southeast coast will continue to transport smoke from the southern Georgia wildfires into South Carolina. Smoke from the wildfires is expected to continue to affect the region today and may also increase ozone concentrations. An ozone action day means that atmospheric conditions will likely produce unhealthy concentrations of ground level ozone air pollution. South Carolina DES recommends that individuals with respiratory health issues limit time spend outdoors and/or move all activities indoors to avoid the smoke or fine particulates. Keep windows and doors closed. Run an air conditioner if you have one but keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke and fine particulates from getting inside.
