Yellow warning - air quality - in effect Elevated pollution levels are expected or occurring. The Ministry of Environment and Parks in collaboration with the Interior Health Authority has issued an Air Quality Warning for Castlegar due to elevated fine particulate matter. Exposure to fine particulate matter is particularly a concern for infants, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions (such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes) or respiratory infections, and those who are pregnant. Postpone or reduce strenuous outdoor activities until the warning has ended. Spend time indoors in a space with filtered air. Monitor your symptoms and seek prompt medical attention if needed. Current conditions are expected to persist until weather conditions change and/or local emissions are reduced.
