(Southeastern IN) – The Heat Advisory remains in effect until 8:00 tonight.
In addition, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has declared an Air Action Day through Midnight.
IDEM says ozone levels in the area may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.
On Alert days, the agency says you can help reduce ozone by taking the following actions:
* Carpool, if possible, bike, or walk instead of driving alone.
* Refuel your vehicle after 8 pm.
* 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.
