LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Air quality will be unhealthy today for sensitive individuals in the Santa Clarita Valley and the San Gabriel Mountains.
The health alert is based on South Coast Air Quality Management District guidance.
Los Angeles County's health officer, Dr. Muntu Davis, advises people who live or work in those areas and have heart disease, asthma or other respiratory diseases to minimize outdoor activities.
Children who have sensitive conditions, including heart disease, asthma and other chronic respiratory diseases, should not participate in outdoor physical activity and should stay indoors as much as possible, he said.
