Air Quality Status Report
Date: August 16, 2007
Stage 1 Air Alert remains in effect
As of 4pm on Thursday, August 16th, a Stage 1 Air Alert remains in effect for the Missoula Valley, and air quality is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups. Air quality may fluctuate this evening, and may worsen at times overnight.
The department recommends that people with heart or lung disease, smokers, children, and the elderly limit heavy or prolonged exertion and limit time spent outdoors. Individuals with asthma should follow their asthma management plans. Anyone experiencing symptoms of heart or lung disease associated with smoke exposure should contact their health care provider.
Smoke conditions can change rapidly, and depending on wind direction and proximity to fires, other areas of the county may have very different levels of pollution; use visibility to gauge smoke levels at specific locations and times. In parts of the county that are heavily impacted by smoke, people with heart or lung conditions, such as asthma, are encouraged to stay indoors and avoid exercise.
