...Code Orange Ozone Forecast For Today...

The ozone forecast for today is code orange...which means its time 
to get serious about ozone pollution in central Arkansas.

The Arkansas Division of Environmental Quality and the Arkansas 
Division of Health have declared an Ozone Action Advisory for today 
in Pulaski, Faulkner, Lonoke, Grant, Perry, and Saline Counties.

Code Orange conditions are unhealthy for sensitive groups. Active
children and adults, and people with respiratory disease such as 
asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exertion today. Symptoms of 
ozone exposure may include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, 
headaches, nausea, and eye and throat irritation.

To help reduce ozone formation, avoid driving at peak times
during the day, such as lunchtime. Postpone or combine errands.
Keep your car well tuned and avoid jack rabbit starts and
excessive idling. Refuel motor vehicles and mow lawns during the
late afternoon or evening hours only. 

For more information on ozone, contact Metro Plan at 501-372-3300.

of Health at 501-661-2000. Additional information may also be
