Air Quality Alert for Monday

Even with the extended hot spell, we have been seemingly luckily that there have been few air quality alerts. I don’t know if mitigation efforts are working, or if we have had less in the way of stagnant conditions, but there seem to have been fewer.

But there is an air quality alert for Monday for Jefferson and Shelby Counties. There is also one for the Huntsville/Decatur area.

A few tips from the Alabama Partners for Clean Air:

• Carpool or take the bus
• Combine errands into one trip – Postpone unnecessary travel
• Limit idling-avoid drive thru’s
• Mow the lawn another day
• Don’t burn leaves or trash
• Don’t fill your gas tank until after 6 p.m.
