...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE...
The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services in Columbia
SC has issued an Air Quality Alert for Fine Particulates for the
Greenville mountains and Pickens mountains of South Carolina, until
further notice.
High pressure drifting east off the Southeast Coast will continue to
dominate the region through tonight, minimizing dispersion from the
Table Rock wildfire in Pickens County and the Persimmon Ridge wildfire
in Greenville County. Stable conditions and light winds overnight will
enhance the noticeability of smoke in the mountains of South Carolina
in Greenville and Pickens counties. South and southwesterly flow during
daytime hours will help disperse and transport the smoke across the
South Carolina and North Carolina border.
SCDES recommends that individuals with respiratory health issues
limit time spent outdoors and/or move all activities indoors to
avoid the smoke or fine particulates. Keep windows and doors closed.
Run an air conditioner if you have one but keep the fresh-air intake
closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke and fine
particulates from getting inside. Please note that locations closest
to the wildfire activity are more likely to experience smoke at any
given time. Anytime you see or smell smoke, take necessary precautions.
For more information about fine particulates, please visit
https://fire.airnow.gov.
