Smoke from forest fires burning throughout the North State continue to reach unhealthy – and even hazardous – levels, stinging the eyes and making it difficult to breathe,
Air quality in Shasta, Tehama, Trinity and other counties is at the unhealthy stage with Hayfork and Hyampom in Trinity County at the hazardous level.
Those hazardous conditions are expected to stay in effect until midnight, according to the North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District.
The air quality in Tehama County is in the unhealthy range today due to the wildfire smoke that’s blanketed a huge area from Willows to Dunsmuir, air quality experts say.
It is also in the unhealthy range in Shasta County, according to AirNow.gov. Smoke is expected to reduce some in the area.
Active children and adults, as well as people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor exertion.
“While all persons may experience varying degrees of symptoms, the more sensitive individuals are at greatest risk at experiencing more aggravated symptoms, which may include, but are not limited to coughing, scratchy throat, watery and itchy eyes, and difficulty breathing,” Tehama County Air Pollution District officials said in a news release issued today.
Those with severe symptoms should go to a doctor.
