The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) has issued a Code Orange Ground Level Ozone Action Day for Cherokee County South Carolina, from 10 AM to 8 PM EDT Thursday. Stagnant high pressure will bring another day of low humidity and very warm temperatures to the area on Thursday. As there is already a considerable level of pollutants in the atmosphere, another day of these conditions will result in significant ozone production on Thursday. Wildfire smoke may also increase ozone concentrations. 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.
