* WHERE...in Imperial Valley. Levels of particle pollution can vary
  by time and location depending on emissions and local weather
  conditions.

* WHEN...Now through Tomorrow morning.

* IMPACTS... Particle pollution can get deep into the lungs and
cause serious health problems such as asthma attacks, heart and lung
disease symptoms, and increased risk of lung infections. Everyone

heart disease, older adults, people who are pregnant, children, and
those who spend a lot of time outdoors are at greater risk.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

To protect your health, check air quality levels and act as needed:

* When Air Quality Index (AQI) levels are "Unhealthy for Sensitive
 Groups" (orange), sensitive groups as specified above should limit
 extended or intense outdoor activity.
* When AQI is "Unhealthy" (red), everyone may experience health
 impacts. Sensitive groups should avoid extended time outdoors.
* When AQI is "Very Unhealthy" (purple), sensitive groups should
avoid
 all outdoor physical activity. Everyone else should avoid extended
 or intense outdoor activity.
* When AQI is "Hazardous" (maroon), everyone should avoid all
outdoor
 physical activity.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

To help keep indoor air clean when air quality is poor:

* Keep windows and doors closed
* Run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier
* Do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in
outside
 air if you have other methods to stay cool
* Avoid other sources of pollution such as fireplaces, candles,
 incense, grilling, and gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment

To help minimize outdoor particle pollution levels:

* Carpool, telecommute, reduce trips, or take public transportation
* Slow down if driving on dirt roads
* Stabilize loose soils
