Smog Alert for 7/11

Interesting. Thanks, Darell.



I hope that some day the word can be easily gotten out to all ("We interrupt

your email program to bring you this special announcement...?"). It would

be desirable for folks to not drive, but how can they comply if they don't

even know? I think it was last summer when an alert day info was published

in the Oregonian...in very small type on the weather page -- should have

been on page one! So, you get people driving when they shouldn't, and it's

hard to tell if they CARE about the air, when probably most of them don't

even know...

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Smog Alert for 7/11





 DEQ has declared a Clean Air Alert for tomorrow. This is a"yellow",

moderate, air pollution prevention advisory for the Portland-Vancouver

area

 issued by the DEQ Clean Air Action Day program in conjunction with the

Southwest Washington Clean Air Agency. While the region is not likely to

go

 over the federal clean air standard tomorrow, individuals who experience

breathing problems may feel the effects of tomorrow's pollution levels

more

 dramatically. The weather forecast is for high temperatures and low winds,

which may cause higher-than-normal smog levels in the Portland-Vancouver

area.
