Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Pollution Advisory...in effect until noon PDT Monday. This air quality advisory covers northern Lake and northern Klamath counties due to wildfires burning in the region. The DEQ also expects intermittent smoke in central and eastern Douglas County and Jackson County through this period due to smoke from surrounding fires. The wildfire smoke combined with forecast conditions will cause air quality levels to fluctuate and could be at unhealthy levels. Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on the weather and planned burn operations. Smoke can irritate the eyes and lungs and worsen some medical conditions. People most at risk include infants and young children, people with heart or lung disease and older adults. People can take the following precautions to protect their health: - Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality. - Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality. - People with heart or lung problems and young children are especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke levels are high. - Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in indoor heating, ventilation, cooling and air purification systems. - Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke if possible.

An Air Quality Alert for smoke remains in effect by Southwest Clean Air Agency until 12 PM Saturday. Smoke from wildfires burning in the region may be intermittent and reach levels unhealthy for sensitive groups in some areas. All sensitive groups should limit spending any time outdoors. People with health conditions may have worsened symptoms. Healthy people may start to have symptoms. Wildfire smoke can cause burning eyes, sore throat, headache, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and worsening of heart and lung conditions.
