PROVO -- Smoke from wildfires burning in the Pacific Northwest continues to raise clean air concerns in Utah Valley.
More than 78 large wildfires remain uncontained, most of which are burning in Washington and the northern Rockies.
The
National Weather Service said Monday morning that haze will hang over
the valley today as the temperature rises to about 94 degrees later in
the day.
The
Utah Division of Environmental Air Quality also said smoke from
wildfires could cause distress among people who suffer from heart or
respiratory ailments. The DEQ also asked people to avoid driving and to
consolidate trips or choose cleaner transportation options in an effort
to help reduce air pollution.
Weather forecasters said Monday that most of the smoke should blow out of the valley by Tuesday.
