Changes To Make During Poor Air Quality Times

As a result of the high temperatures and low wind speeds, air pollution levels, specifically ground-level ozone, are expected to reach the unhealthy for sensitive groups category.

The Illinois EPA encourages people to make green choices to help those who are sensitive to air pollution such as those with respiratory and pulmonary disorders and active children. Some changes that can be made include taking public transit, turn off and unplug all electronics not in use, using enviromentally friendly household and cleaning products and set your thermostat 2 degrees higher.

The EPA encourages all residents should keep cool and limit physical activity when air polluntion is high.
