HOURS Mon. - Sat. 9-6 A, ' 8111 Cooler summer means fewer smog days One positive aspect of having a cooler than aver- age summer this year in Huron County is that the region experienced fewer smog days than usual. Paul Dawson, envi- ronmental public health manager for Huron Coun- ty Health Unit, says the Ontario Ministry of the Environment issued two smog advisories over four. days»- one on May 21. and the other from Aug..15- 17. It's fewer than last year, which experienced three smog advisories over sev- en days. "It usually happens on very hot days where the air holds pollutants closer to the ground," Dawson says, adding that high temperatures in Septem- ber may still cause an- other smog day. "We're still not in the clear," he says. Dawson says during a smog -advisory day, elder- ly people and those with respiratory illnesses - are at the highest risk and should stay indoors. There are a number of things people can do on hot, smoggy days to re- duce the amount of air pollution going into the air, Dawson says. lb help prevent a smog day, people should try to avoid fast food drive- thrus, beach fires, barbe- cues, gas -powered lawn- mowers and make efforts to carpool.
