Air Quality Alert issued December 30 at 7:45AM MST by NWS Tucson AZ

AQATWC

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a
PM-2.5 High Pollution Advisory for Nogales for both Tuesday and
Wednesday.

This means that ongoing stagnant weather conditions may result in
local PM-2.5 concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health
effects increase as air quality deteriorates.

Fine particulate matter – also known as PM-2.5 – is an air
contaminant that can aggravate heart and lung disease conditions,
especially in older adults, children, and those with asthma. A
decrease in physical activity is recommended.

Consolidate your travel, reduce or eliminate fireplace use, and avoid
using gas-powered lawn equipment.
