Summer isn’t even here yet, but Sunday, May 27, 2018 is West Michigan's second Clean Air Action Day of the year!

What does that mean?

Well, it means that ozone levels within the following West Michigan counties are expected to be in the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" range according to the Grand Valley Metro Council:

  • Allegan
  • Berrien
  • Cass
  • Kent
  • Muskegon
  • Ottawa
  • Van Buren

People and businesses in these counties are encouraged to avoid activities that can lead to ozone formation during Clean Air Action days. Those activities include things like refueling vehicles, using gas-powered lawn equipment, and using charcoal lighter fluid.

Folks are encouraged to carpool, delay or combine errands, and use water-based paints.

It's also recommended that active children and adults (as well as people with respiratory diseases like asthma) limit their outdoor exertion.
