Air Quality Alert issued November 2 at 2:17PM PST by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

Nov 2, 2:17 PM → Nov 4, 12:00 AM

WHAT: The South Coast AQMD has issued a mandatory wood-burning ban
for residents in the South Coast Air Basin. The No-Burn rule bans
burning wood, pellets, and manufactured fire logs in any indoor or
outdoor wood-burning device.

WHERE: The South Coast Air Basin, which includes Orange County and
non- desert portions of Los Angeles. No-Burn Day alerts do not
apply to areas above 3,000 feet in elevation or the High Desert.
Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income
households and those without natural gas service also are exempt
from the requirement.

WHEN: Monday.

IMPACTS: Particles in smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause
health problems (including asthma attacks), increases in emergency
room visits, and hospitalizations. No-Burn Days are needed to
protect public health when fine particle pollution levels are
expected to be high anywhere in the South Coast Air Basin. No-Burn
Days are based on fine particle pollution levels that are
forecasted for an entire 24-hour period, which may not be reflected
in real-time air quality maps.
