The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at

Particulates until midnight EDT Saturday night.
Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an Air Quality Index value of 170 for Fine Particulates. The Air

levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI
value...the greater the health concern.
When pollution levels are elevated...the New York State Department
of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous
outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health
effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of
