> The Maryland Department of the Environment has issued a Code RED Air Quality Alert for Thursday (6/29) for the Maryland suburban DC region. Code Red levels mean the air is unhealthy for everyone. Smoke coming from wildfires in Canada is contributing to the increased levels of fine particle pollution.  For interactive information visit http://www.airnow.gov.
> 
> The following health precautions are advised:
> 
> * Sensitive groups like people with heart or lung disease like asthma or emphysema, older adults, and children should avoid long or intense outdoor activities. Consider rescheduling or moving activities indoors.
> 
> * Healthy individuals should limit long or intense outdoor activities.
> 
> For the latest State air quality information, please visit the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) Air Quality Monitoring website https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/Air/AirQualityMonitoring/Pages/index.aspx.
> 
> Residents can also check current quality conditions on The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments COG's website https://www.mwcog.org/environment/planning-areas/air-quality/air-quality-forecast/.
> 
> The U.S Environmental Protection Agency recommends the following during wildfire events https://www.airnow.gov/wildfires/when-smoke-is-in-the-air/:
> 
> * Take it easier during smoky times. If you can see or smell smoke, avoid strenuous activities such as mowing the lawn or going for a run.
> 
> * Reschedule outdoor work tasks and activities to a time when air quality improves. If outdoor tasks and activities cannot be rescheduled and must be conducted when air quality is poor, it is recommended that individuals reduce smoke inhalation by:
> 
> o Limiting the time spent outdoors by only performing essential activities.
> 
> o Taking frequent breaks indoors in places where the air is clean, especially during periods with high outdoor levels of wildfire smoke.
> 
> o If you must work outdoors, choosing a mask that will protect you like an N95 respirator mask. Cloth masks will not protect you from wildfire smoke.
> 
> o Using a portable air cleaner in one or more rooms. If you have a central air system in your home, use it to filter the air.
