Air quality warning for coastal Maine 9/5/2014

http://bangordailynews.com/2013/06/25/health/epa-issues-air-quality-warning-for-maine-coast/

Very new news, guys!

From the article:
"The agency warned of high concentrations of ground-level ozone, which forms when volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen interact in the presence of strong sunlight."

I know a few days ago there was a high concentration of pollen going around Rockland, Maine, probably due to this occurring. So, even if you aren't that allergic to that stuff, it will be hard to breathe. If you smell dense pollen (or notice the air is bad), I urge you to go into an area in which you can't smell it anymore, somewhere with the best air you can find (but out of strong sunlight sounds like a good idea I think). People with asthma or other breathing problems should be around other friends/family just in cause they have trouble breathing. I hope you all can be safe and try to reduce emissions to reduce the problem.

Thanks for reading and make sure to read the full article (at the top) for the full details!



Again, I would gather your friends and family to make sure people are safe, it seems like this could be a tad rough for a bit. I wish you all well!
