NWS Phoenix AZ
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a
PM 10 High Pollution Advisory for the Yuma area on Sunday.
An episode of strong and gusty winds is forecast to generate
widespread blowing dust that may result in local PM 10
concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects
increase as air quality deteriorates.
Coarse particulate matter also known as PM 10 is an air
contaminant that can aggravate heart and lung disease conditions,
especially in older adults, children, and those with asthma. A
decrease in physical activity is recommended.
Consolidate your travel, stabilize loose soils, slow down or avoid
travel on dirt roads, reduce or eliminate fireplace use, and avoid
using gas powered lawn equipment.
For details on this High Pollution Advisory, visit the ADEQ internet
