The National Weather Service issued an air stagnation advisory for the Oregon Lower Treasure Valley on Monday at 2:14 a.m., which will be in force until Thursday at 1 p.m.
“A prolonged period of stagnant air, with light winds and little vertical mixing,” the weather agency warns. This is because pollutants will continue to be trapped by an inversion close to the surface.
“Those who have respiratory disorders may experience complications as a result of poor air quality. The weather service warns that driving conditions could become dangerous due to low visibility. “When it comes to dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctors’ recommendations. 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. Use your headlights, slow down, and give yourself plenty of space if you’re driving.
