Air Quality Advisory for Cuyahoga County on Father's Day

If you're heading to the Shaker Heights Arts and Music Festival today, or doing anything else outside, the Ohio EPA warns that an air quality advisory has been issued for Greater Cleveland, Lorain County and Akron for today.

The Ohio EPA suggests residents, businesses and local governments should voluntarily reduce activities that contribute to ozone air pollution. Be proactive by reducing or eliminating unnecessary motor vehicle trips, and consider carpooling or use public transportation.

Consider setting your home or office air conditioning thermostat slightly higher. Refuel vehicles and mow grass after 7 p.m.

Asthmatics, those with preexisting respiratory conditions, the elderly and young children should consider reducing outdoor activities.

The arts fest runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today on Farnsleigh Road along the north side of the Van Aken Shopping Center.
