AirAlert - Spare The Air Tonight - Tuesday November 6

Spare the Air Tonight, Tuesday, November 6, in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The air quality tonight is forecast to be unhealthy. The Bay Area Air
District is asking residents to refrain from burning wood in their
fireplaces and woodstoves, and to drive less.

Winter air pollution is mainly caused by small particle pollution, or
particulate matter (PM). The two major winter sources of PM in the Bay
Area are residential wood burning and motor vehicles.

You can help reduce winter air pollution if you:

- Do NOT burn wood tonight.
- Postpone errands and link necessary trips
- Use public transit whenever possible
- Retrofit your fireplace to burn natural gas
