The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is issuing air quality advisories for Friday and Saturday because of wildfire smoke but says the pollution levels are not expected to exceed federal health standards and prompt a Spare the Air alert.
Smoke from wildfires across California and further north in Oregon and Washington have prompted several air quality advisories in the region in recent weeks.
Air district officials say that the Bay Area should have moderate air quality and that they will monitor the pollution levels. Last week, excessive levels of smoke prompted the district to issue Spare the Air alerts, which ban wood burning both indoors and outdoors.
If anyone smells smoke, the air district advises them to stay inside with windows and doors closed and to set air conditioning and car vent systems to recirculate.

Wow, so thankful for the Bay Area air quality management district. I mean, I thought i was able to judge for myself if the air was clean or not, but I guess I was wrong! Without the baaqmd, I don’t know what I would do! I would be lost! Breathing in dirty air and not knowing it! What did people do for thousands of years without advisories like this? I think we should create even more districts like this to tell people how to live, because life is so hard when you have to think for yourself. Thank you, Bay Area air quality management district.
They only exist to be fireplace curmudgeons during the holiday season when people want to burn wood in their fireplace.
Did it take $8.000.000.00 to figure this one out?
