...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
The Southwest Ohio Air Quality Agency has issued an Air Quality
Advisory for Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties in Ohio;
Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties in Kentucky; and Dearborn County
in Indiana, in effect until 9 PM EDT this evening.
The Agency expects to see levels of ozone in the `unhealthy for
sensitive groups` range on the Air Quality Index.
On Air Quality Advisory days, everyone can help reduce ozone
formation by taking the following actions:
*Take the bus, carpool, bike, or walk instead of drive.
*Refuel your vehicle after 8 PM; do not top off when refueling
and tighten the gas cap.
*Do not idle your vehicle; exhaust contributes considerably to
ozone formation.
*Avoid use of gasoline-powered lawn equipment on Air Quality
Advisory days.
