The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued another Spare the Air alert for Wednesday because of unhealthy levels of smog expected in the region.
It is the second-straight day the alert has been issued and ninth time overall this summer season, according to the air district.
A persistent high-pressure system over the Bay Area will lead to triple-digit temperatures and light winds in many areas, causing an unhealthy buildup of smog particularly in the East and South Bay.
Excessive amounts of smog, or ozone, can cause throat irritation, congestion and other medical problems, particularly for seniors, children and those with respiratory and heart conditions, according to the air district.
The district is encouraging Bay Area residents to do their part by finding alternatives to driving alone, such as carpooling or taking public transit.

that’s ok… I’ve leftover brisket from yesterday’s alert…
Crappy Air.
Crappy water.
Crappy traffic.
Crappy Bay Area culture.
Time to move.
Don’t let the door hit you on the butt as you leave, but remember, the grass is always greener, etc. etc.
@Noj, I bet wherever you move you’ll find something to complain about. Oh wait! You’re pulling something we used to do in Seattle, complain about the rain and the webbed feet we were developing. All to keep people from moving there.
@Noj
I can sympathize with you and agree it’s time to move. There are much better places to live than CA, that’s a given…
You also could include in your list:
Crappy rude self-centered people
Crappy politicians
Crappy taxes
Crappy roads
Crappy prices
Crappy overpriced homes and apartments
Too many more to list…
What’s holding you back? Your good job? Good schools? Free dope? Big house equity? There’s no fence around California, you can leave right now, go for it.
No Gas Leaf blowing to foul up the air more!
