Air Quality Alert issued for wildfire smoke
August 22, 2020

Saturday, August 22, 2020: The following message is transmitted in collaboration with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division and the Wyoming Department of Health.

An Air Quality Alert has been issued for western and central Wyoming for Wildfire Smoke until 3:00 PM Saturday August 22.

Heavy smoke from wildfires in California and Colorado has been observed across portions of western and central Wyoming. Very little change is expected in the overall pattern through the weekend. So, smoky conditions may persist until at least Monday morning.

HEALTH INFORMATION: It is recommended by the Wyoming Department of Health that the elderly, young children, and individuals with respiratory problems avoid excessive physical exertion and minimize outdoor activities during this time. Wildfire smoke is made up of a variety of pollutants, including particulate matter and ozone, which can cause respiratory health effects. Although these people are most susceptible to health impacts, the Department of Health also advises that everyone should avoid prolonged exposure to poor air quality conditions.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division offers near real-time air Quality data for Wyoming`s monitoring stations and health effects information to help the public interpret current conditions.
