Poor outdoor air quality calls for precautions

PULLMAN, Wash. – Smoke has made the air unhealthy for sensitive groups – including infants, children, adults older than 65, pregnant women, people who have had a stroke and those with heart or lung disease, asthma or diabetes.

Washington State University Environmental Health & Safety advises these people to limit their time outdoors. For more information, see http://ehs.wsu.edu/ph/wildfiresmoke.html or contact 509-335-3041.
