Arrest Report for March 25

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT EDT TONIGHT...

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control
(DHEC) has declared a Code Orange Air Quality Action Day for Fine
Particulates. An air quality action day means that fine particulate
concentrations may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. Residents
of South Carolina should be aware of the continued risk for health
effects related to smoke from wildfires that originated from fires
burning across parts of eastern and western Canada. The large swath
of smoke is expected to create hazy skies and unhealthy breathing
conditions, especially where wildfire smoke is most concentrated.
Smoke can irritate the eyes and respiratory system, as well as
aggravate or exacerbate chronic heart and lung diseases.

South Carolina DHEC recommends that individuals with respiratory
health issues limit time spent outdoors to avoid the dust. Take
measures to prevent dust and smoke from getting inside. Keep windows
and doors closed. If operating an air conditioner/central heating
unit, keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to
prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside.
