...PM-10 HIGH POLLUTION ADVISORY FOR MARICOPA COUNTY INCLUDING THE

PHOENIX METRO AREA TUESDAY...



The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a

PM-10 High Pollution Advisory for the Phoenix Metro Area on Tuesday. 



An episode of strong and gusty winds is forecast to generate

widespread blowing dust that may result in local PM-10 concentrations

that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects increase as air

quality deteriorates.



Coarse particulate matter - also known as PM-10 - is an air

contaminant that can aggravate heart and lung disease conditions,

especially in older adults, children, and those with asthma. A

decrease in physical activity is recommended.



Consolidate your travel, stabilize loose soils, slow down or avoid

travel on dirt roads, reduce or eliminate fireplace use, and avoid

using gas-powered lawn equipment.



For details on this High Pollution Advisory, visit the ADEQ internet

site at www.azdeq.gov/forecast/phoenix or call 602-771-2300.
