The poor air quality is expected to affect sensitive groups, including individuals with lung or heart disease, older adults, pregnant individuals, children, and those who spend extended time outdoors. Health risks include asthma attacks, breathing difficulties, lung damage, and increased susceptibility to infections. The National Weather Service (NWS) has emphasized that ozone and particle pollution can penetrate deep into the lungs, exacerbating existing health conditions. Residents in affected areas are advised to limit outdoor activities and take precautions to reduce exposure to pollutants.
