An air quality warning has been issued for the Louisville region for Sunday

Theo

An air quality warning is in effect for the Louisville area on Sunday. The Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District issued the warning because ozone pollution is forecast to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include children, older adults and people with asthma, COPD and other respiratory conditions. Anyone who engages in outdoor activities also falls into this category. Ozone pollution builds throughout the day due to warm, sunny and stagnant conditions, causing most problems in the afternoon and early evening. People who are in the sensitive group should plan to spend less time outdoors or reduce their exertion outdoors. The district says the rest of the population likely won’t be affected, but everyone should know where to find up-to-date air quality information and watch for symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath or other respiratory problems.
