The Air District is issuing an air quality advisory for wildfire smoke for Thursday, September 2, and Friday, September 3. Smoke from wildfires in northern California is predicted to cause hazy and smoky skies across the Bay Area on Thursday and Friday. Pollution levels are not expected to exceed federal health standards and no Spare the Air Alert is in effect. However, smoke may mix to the surface at times causing intermittent and isolated pockets of elevated pollution levels. Air quality is expected to be in the good to moderate range on the Air Quality Index.

The Air District’s Board of Directors voted to adopt new amendments that will strengthen the agency’s wood-burning regulation to safeguard public health against the hazards of fine particle pollution, especially during wildfires.

Conditions can change rapidly and the amount and location of smoke at ground level is hard to predict. The public can check for real-time smoke pollution levels in their local area with the U.S. EPA's Fire and Smoke Map. Smoky, hazy skies may be visible, the smell of smoke is possible and air quality may become unhealthy on Monday and Tuesday.
