Today, Tuesday, August 31 is a Spare The Air Day in the Sacramento
region. However, tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1 is NOT a Spare The Air
Day.

Ground-level ozone air pollution is forecast to reach 135 AQI -
Unhealthy 

for Sensitive Groups today and decrease to 85 AQI - Moderate tomorrow 

(Spare The Air trigger is 127 AQI & above).

A Spare The Air advisory is being issued for today due to strong high 

pressure over northern California producing very warm surface 

temperatures, light winds, and a strong temperature inversion, trapping 

pollution in the Sacramento region. Tomorrow, a strengthening delta
breeze 

and cooler temperatures in the Sacramento area will cause ozone levels
to 

drop into the Moderate AQI range.

The Spare The Air program is urging motorists to reduce driving and take


their lunches to work instead of driving out to eat. Homeowners are
asked 

to avoid the use of gas-powered yard tools. Everyone is urged to carpool


to sports and recreation activities and postpone errands that can wait. 

Remember, Yolo Bus and UNITRANS are free on Spare The Air days! For
schedule information visit  <http://www.yolobus.com/>

Did you know that:

Poorly maintained cars pollute more. Regular tune-ups will help your car
run 

better and cost less to operate. 

People are also being asked to:

- eliminate vehicle trips

- arrange to carpool with friends or co-workers

- use public transit whenever possible

- work from home instead of driving to work if your employer supports
"teleworking"

- exercise in the morning before air quality hits unhealthy levels

- avoid the use of charcoal lighter fluid and barbecues
