The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued
a code orange air quality alert Thursday for Ocean County and
southeastern Burlington County New Jersey.
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. The effects of air pollution can
be minimized by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.
