Air Quality Alert issued for Southern Massachusetts
An Air Quality Alert Action Day has been issued for the area.
Elevated levels of air pollution are expected in Southern Massachusetts including Fall River, New Bedford, and Cape Cod.
The Fall River area is expected to have a 105 AQI Sunday which is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
The conditions may cause health affects among sensitive people. Those most at risk are children, other active people, the elderly, and those with existing respiratory illnesses.
The alert is in place from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
MassDEP has called an Action Day for poor air quality and recommends limiting strenuous activity, taking public transportation, or working at home, if possible.
