...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE...



Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air

Quality Advisory...in effect until further notice for eastern Douglas

County...



The Castle Fire and wildfires to the north combined with northerly 

winds will cause air quality levels to lower through the next few 

days.



Smoke levels will change over the next few days due to varying wind 

direction and fire activity. Some improvement is expected towards the

end of the week. People at risk include infants and young children, 

people with heart or lung disease, older adults and pregnant people.



People can take the following precautions to protect their health:



* Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air

  quality.

* Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air

  quality.

* People with heart or lung problems and young children are

  especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke

  levels are high.

* Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in

  indoor heating, ventilation, cooling and air purification systems.
