Air District issues another Spare the Air Smog Alert

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has declared another Spare the Air day for today.  The district is expecting air quality to be unhealthy and  recommends residents avoid outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, when air quality is unhealthiest.

“Several more hot days are forecast for the Bay Area and it’s important that we remain vigilant about reducing our driving not just during Spare the Air Alerts, but every day to avoid unhealthy air quality,” said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Air District. “Consider alternatives to driving alone twice a week to protect the health of all Bay Area residents.”
