Air Quality Alert – Code Orange

Environmental agencies in Maryland have issued a Code Orange air quality alert for Montgomery County, 11 other counties and the city of Baltimore.

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.

To avoid the effects of air pollution do not participate in strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.
