Air Quality Alerts Issued Across Multiple US Regions.

TL;DR Summary

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and State Department of Health have issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for several regions in New York, including Long Island, New York City Metro, Eastern Lake Ontario, Central New York, and Western New York, due to high levels of fine particulate matter. Exposure to this pollutant can cause short-term health effects and worsen medical conditions such as asthma and heart disease. New Yorkers are urged to take energy-saving and pollution-reducing steps, such as using mass transit instead of driving and minimizing outdoor and indoor sources of PM 2.5.
