Air Quality Alert issued June 8 at 2:13PM EDT by NWS Gray ME

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Air
Quality has issued an Air Quality Alert for particle pollution until
11 PM EDT this evening.

Particle pollution levels are expected to rise into the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups range on Sunday, June 8th

The Maine Department of Environmental Protection recommends that
individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to
reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be
especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants
include the very young, the elderly, those with pre-existing
respiratory problems such as asthma, those with heart disease and
anyone who is working hard outdoors. It is okay to be active
outdoors. But if you experience symptoms such as shortness of
breath, coughing, throat irritation or an uncomfortable sensation in
your chest please consider limiting the intensity and duration of
your outdoor activities.

A toll free air quality hotline has been established so Maine
residents can stay informed on the air quality situations. The toll
free number is: 1-800-223-1196.

Additionally the Maine Department of Environmental Protection has
the air quality forecast available on the web at
