Air Quality in Philadelphia Below Healthy Standards

Photo of Philly air this morning

Got this in my morning Weather Channel Local Severe Weather Alerts:

Local Severe Weather Alert for Philadelphia, PA

…AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 10 PM EDT TUESDAY… THE PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION HAS DECLARED AN AIR QUALITY ACTION DAY FOR THE REGION…IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 10 PM EDT TUESDAY. AN AIR QUALITY ACTION DAY MEANS THAT AIR QUALITY WITHIN THE REGION MAY APPROACH OR EXCEED UNHEALTHY STANDARDS.

I remember these from Los Angeles and figured Philly’s industrial areas were as bad or worse, but this is for the whole region.

Lovely!
