gasmask3According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, air quality will be unhealthy for sensitive individuals in Santa Clarita Valley for tomorrow, Friday, Aug. 28.

Los Angeles County Interim Health Officer Jeffrey Gunzenhauser MD, MPH, advises people living or working in the Santa Clarita Valley area with heart disease, asthma or other respiratory diseases to minimize outdoor activities. Schools with children who have sensitive conditions, including heart disease, asthma, and other chronic respiratory diseases, should not participate in outdoor physical activity and should stay indoors as much as possible.

Through a variety of programs, community partnerships and services, Public Health oversees environmental health, disease control, and community and family health. Public Health comprises nearly 4,000 employees and has an annual budget exceeding $900 million.

  3. I’m curious to know why the air quality will be poor and how that is determined. For curiosity’s sake

  4. Josh Thomas Josh Thomas says:

    Dropping more poison? Mkay.

  5. Cameron Chamness Vizza stay in side!

    My Daughter-In-Law sent me the notification regarding the air quality for tomorrow. In Santa Clarita Valley. I have Asthma and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease and my breathing is compromised with poor air quality. If at all possible, I would like to get the notifications direct to my email.
    Thanks for your consideration.

  8. Juana Villanueva be aware with the kids :(

  9. Kristy Lynn Kristy Lynn says:

    Paul Davidson this doesn’t sound too good

  10. Um, the full hazmat suit is a little much for a air warning for people with sensitivity. Quit trying to scare people!

  12. Mike Bagack Mike Bagack says:

    No wonder my allergies are killin me

  13. Jim Johnson Jim Johnson says:

    So we’re is the reason why??? This is vague annoying information and very unsettling to say

  14. 1-800-CUT-SMOG gives hourly reports of smog, by zip code, and defines which pollutant is predominant. Same recording also gives a forecast for the next day.

    According to the call I just made, tomorrow’s forecast for zip code 91321 is moderate (not severe) for ozone.

    AQMD probably has same info on their website. They have air quality monitors throughout the region.

  15. Cuidado no anden abentando a la chinconcunya esa enfermedad del malo

  16. 91351 canyon country reports unhealthy for sensitive groups for tomorrow when I called

  17. Ann Ochoa Ann Ochoa says:

    Is this a sales pitch for gas masks??!! What the heck is going on?

  18. Hey how did the surgery go??

  19. Ashley Rupp Ashley Rupp says:

    Taylor Rupp, Ayra’s bloody nose?

  20. Love the “space man” suits. Are they using 50’s/60’s scare tactics?! Oh no the sky is falling ???

  21. Lori Livingston Hayutin

  22. Ashley Taylor Kathryn Taylor

  23. Zita Norte Zita Norte says:

    Kyle Bovee let’s roll

  24. I’m with you. That’s weird!

  25. Vina Vidana Vina Vidana says:

    Some thing is on that no body know watch it

  26. Betty Norton Betty Norton says:

    Oregon had so much smoke from fires we could have used protection too

  27. Pretty stoked our Ayso has now been cancelled today.

  28. John Johnston says:

    Seriously you show a picture of two guys in full hazmat suits? Isn’t that a bit misleading? For those of us who have been here for a few decades we know smog levels today are great in comparison to the pasts. We don’t need reporters to mislead us.
