Poor Air Quality on Northeast Coast

According to Boston’s Business Journal, The EPA has predicted unhealthy air quality for many coastal beaches in the Northeast region this weekend. Children and adults with respiratory conditions are especially advised to avoid strenuous activities as elevated ozone levels can lead to breathing problems. Though it’s going to be this year’s first hot weekend since they opened, the beaches surrounding southern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands, eastern coastal Connecticut and Southern Rhode Island will be affected through Saturday.

Wondering how you can stay mindful this weekend? EPA officials recommend less driving, use of lawn mowers, chain saws, power washers and leaf blowers will help reduce the smog.
