The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued an Air Quality Action day for Particulate Matter (PM2.5). Sensitive individuals, including those with heart or lung disease, the elderly, and the young should limit strenuous activities and the amount of time active outdoors. Levels of fine particulates will rise into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) category in isolated areas of northeastern and southern portions of New Jersey today due to wildfire smoke transport from localized wildfires throughout the state. A low pressure system is expected to pass through the region later today, bringing rain showers and southwesterly winds. Additionally, ozone will remain good statewide. An Air Quality Advisory means that air quality within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. For more information on current and forecast concentrations of ground-level ozone and fine particulates, visit www.airnow.gov or www.state.nj.us/dep/airmon/ or call the New Jersey Bureau of Air Monitoring at 609-292-0138.
