This Knozone Action Day will be in effect from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM.
A Knozone Action Day means that a combination of high temperatures, light winds, and other factors, are expected to produce conditions where high levels of ozone emissions may exceed federally mandated standards.
Here are some recommended actions that the public can take to protect themselves and reduce ozone forming emissions:
- Staying indoors whenever possible, especially if you have a chronic respiratory or cardiac illness.
- Monitor indoor air quality by keeping air circulating and checking filtration systems/air filters.
- Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds.
- Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air conditioner to 75 degrees or above.
- Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one trip.
- Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn equipment until after 7pm.
- Carpool or use public transportation.
