>>Code Orange Air Quality in Effect Today
(Harrisburg, PA) -- The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is issuing a Code Orange Air Quality Action Day today. The Action Day was issued yesterday because a strong temperature inversion is going to contribute to concentrations of fine particulate matter in the Code Orange range. Several southeastern and southcentral counties are going to be affected including Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster and York. Residents are being asked to help limit air pollution by not using gas-powered lawn or garden equipment and avoid burning leaves and trash in the open.
