The National Weather Service issued an air stagnation alert for the Oregon Lower Treasure Valley, Harney, Baker, and Malheur counties on Saturday at 12:38 p.m., which will be in effect until December 6 at 8 p.m.
“A prolonged period of stagnant air, with light winds and little vertical mixing,” the meteorological agency notes. This is because air contaminants may be trapped in valleys by an inversion close to the surface.
According to the weather service, “people with respiratory problems may experience problems due to poor air quality.” “State air quality organizations strongly advise against outdoor burning and to minimize the number of wood-burning equipment in homes. Long stretches of stagnant air can trap pollutants near the ground where people live and breathe, according to state air quality regulators. For information on any current limitations in your area, contact your local burn agency.
