Air Quality Alert Message Relayed by National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 357 PM EDT Sun Jun 1 2025 ...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 8 PM EDT MONDAY... The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services in Columbia SC has issued a Code Orange Ground Level Ozone Action Day for the Upstate and Catawba regions region of South Carolina, from 10 AM to 8 PM EDT Monday. Conditions will be favorable for elevated ozone levels Monday. An ozone action day means that atmospheric conditions will likely produce unhealthy concentrations of ground level ozone air pollution. A Code Orange forecast indicates that ground level ozone concentrations are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups, which includes people with lung disease, older adults, and children. Sensitive groups should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, take more breaks, and do less intense activities, especially during afternoon and early evening hours. You can help prevent ozone pollution by walking or riding your bicycle, taking your lunch to work, reducing idling, conserving energy, and keeping your vehicle properly tuned.
