Air Quality Alert

I've rarely seen this alert for our area:

Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Union and Passaic.

from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Friday.

An Air Quality Action Day means that Ground Level Ozone within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.


The odor of the Nova Scotia blaze was horrendous in Summit on Wednesday night. Not so bad by Thursday morning. But it didn’t seem hazy. Then again, I am fortunate not to have any breathing conditions. The last time I remember getting these alerts was West Coast fires some years ago, and the Pine Barrens area fire more recently. I can’t imagine what people are going through.
