The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has issued a Code Red Air Quality Alert for Thursday, July 16, due to smoke from Canadian wildfires.

A Code Red Alert is issued when the NJDEP finds that conditions are unhealthy for some members of the general public and members of sensitive groups who may experience more serious health effects. Sensitive groups include people with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teenagers, people with diabetes, pregnant individuals, and outdoor workers.

Members of these groups should reduce outdoor activities to shorter times and engage in less intense levels of activity. People who are participating in outdoor activities should take regular breaks and watch for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath.

People with asthma should follow their personal asthma action plan and keep quick-relief medicine handy. People with heart disease should be alert for symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue, all of which may indicate a serious problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care provider.
