The Shelby County Health Department has issued a Code Orange Ozone
Health Advisory effective for Shelby County Tennessee, Crittenden

Protection Agency's federal safe health standard. The Shelby County
Health Department recommends that sensitive groups which include
active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, 
such as asthma, limit prolonged outdoor exertion. Please continue to
