Stagnant winter weather conditions are creating elevated pollution levels. High levels of air pollution have developed. An Air Quality Warning is in place due to high levels of air pollution. Light winds and stagnating weather conditions have resulted in increasing levels of fine particles. While AQHI values are currently in the moderate risk category, high risk AQHI values are expected to return tonight into Monday morning. ### When air pollution levels are high, everyone should limit time outdoors. Consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities and events. You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance.
