The National Weather Service issued a revised air stagnation advisory for the Oregon Lower Treasure Valley on Tuesday at 5:17 p.m., which is in effect until Thursday at 1 p.m.
“A long stretch of stagnant air with minimal vertical mixing and low breezes. The weather service predicts that this is because of an inversion close to the surface that will keep trapping pollution. “Areas of light snow will also occur with the fog, making roads locally slick.”
“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. “If you’re driving, use your headlights, slow down, and give yourself plenty of space. When it comes to dealing with high levels of air pollution during periods of stagnant air, people with respiratory illnesses should heed the advise of their doctors. 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.
