I've developed a dry cough and asthmatic wheeze recently, now I know the cause: the air quality currently sucks.
» A strong ridge of high pressure offshore is creating stagnant conditions over the Puget Sound area. These conditions are expected to persist through Wednesday. Of particular concern are fine particles released by smoke from uncertified wood stoves and fireplaces. The Washington State Department of Health recommends that people who are sensitive to air pollution limit time spent outdoors. Air pollution can trigger asthma attacks, cause difficulty breathing, and make lung and heart problems worse. Air pollution is especially harmful to children, people with heart and lung problems, and adults over age 65.Quotes from Puget Sound Clean Air Agency More resources: Department of Ecology Air Quality info National Weather Service ![]() National Weather Service map, air stagnation advisory
