"Local air quality is very
unhealthy today."
"It's a code red day
for ozone."
"Particle pollution levels are
forecast to be unhealthy
for sensitive groups."
You may hear these alerts on radio
or TV or read them in the newspaper.
But what do they mean if you:
Are active outdoors?
Have children who play outdoors?
Are an older adult?
Have heart or lung disease?
This booklet will help you understand
how to find out about air quality in
your area and protect your health.
