(Southeastern IN) – The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has declared an Air Action Day for our area until midnight tonight.
Ozone levels in the area may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.
IDEM says on Air Quality Alert days, you can help reduce ozone by taking the following actions:
* Carpool, if possible, bike, walk or take the bus instead of driving alone.
* Refuel your vehicle after 8 p.m.
* Do not idle your vehicle, exhaust contributes to air pollution.
* Mow your lawn in the evening hours and avoid the use of gas-powered lawn equipment.
