The Imperial County Air Pollution Control District has declared a
mandatory wood burning curtailment for residents within the Calexico
area for 9 AM to midnight on Tuesday, November 26.
The declaration of a Mandatory curtailment, when forecast indicate
elevated levels of fine particulate air pollution in the region, is
issued to protect the public health. Smoke from wood burning can
cause health problems. Breathing high levels of pollution from wood
smoke can cause breathing problems (including asthma attacks),
worsened lung and heart disease symptoms, and may even increase
emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
The Mandatory Curtailment rule prohibits the operation of any wood
burning appliances during the curtailment period. This prohibition
does not apply to cookstoves and those devices exclusively gaseous-
fueled.
