...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT...

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has issued a
Code ORANGE Air Quality Alert for elevated fine particle pollution
due to lingering smoke from Canadian wildfires.

A Code ORANGE Air Quality Alert means that air pollution
concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for
sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include children,
people suffering from asthma, heart disease or other lung
diseases, and the elderly. The effects of air pollution can
be minimized by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.
