@PSICC_NF: While this campfire may look like it’s out it still has enough heat to instantly boil water. Crews spent most of today putting out campfires that were abandoned by campers. Please put your campfires out cold before you leave them. #DrownStirFeel https://t.co/FXwyK4oQFI

PPACG monitors air quality throughout the region, including ozone. What is ozone? There's two types, stratospheric ozone and ground-level ozone.

Stratospheric ozone is a naturally-occurring gas in the upper atmosphere that filters the sun's harmful radiation. This is typically regarded as 'good' ozone.

Ozone at ground level is a harmful air pollutant, because of its effects on people and the environment, and it is the main ingredient in “smog." It is not emitted directly into the air, but is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This happens when pollutants emitted by cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, chemical plants, and other sources chemically react in the presence of sunlight. To find out ways that you can reduce ground-level ozone pollution, go to www.ppacg.org/environment/air_quality/ ... See MoreSee Less
