The National Weather Service issued an updated air stagnation advisory for the Klamath Basin, Northern and Eastern Klamath County, Western Lake County, and Central and Eastern Lake County on Friday at 9:09 a.m., which will remain in force until noon on December 29.
According to the weather service, “Stagnant air is expected, which may lead to deteriorating air quality.”
“Over time, air stagnation is expected to lead to deteriorating air quality, particularly in and around locations with major air pollution sources. If precautions are not taken, reduced air quality is likely to result in health difficulties for those who have respiratory conditions, the weather service notes. “When dealing with reduced air quality, people with respiratory illnesses should heed their doctor’s recommendations. Most dangerous air particles can be effectively filtered out by N95 masks. 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.
