A Spare the Air Alert has been issued for anticipated smog during Saturday's higher temperatures, officials with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District announced.
This is the fourth Spare the Air Alert issued so far this year. Air quality is forecast to be unhealthy due to the strong high-pressure system creating a heat dome over the region, leading to triple-digit temperatures inland. The high temps combined with light winds and vehicle exhaust is expected to cause unhealthy ozone accumulation over the Bay Area.
So far this year, previous Spare the Air alerts have been triggered by smoke drifting into the region from wildfires burning in other parts of California. That won't be the case Saturday as the forecast heat wave sends temperatures soaring. Bay Area residentsOfficials warned that ozone can cause throat irritation, congestion and chest pain in addition to triggering asthma and inflaming the lining of the lungs, worsening symptoms of bronchitis and emphysema.
