Sunday 04/11/2010 Air Pollution

The wood smoke from yesterday evening continues into the early morning hours.

3:45 AM: Light wood smoke continues.

5:30 AM: Faint wood smoke can be detected in the air. That is 11 hours of continuous wood smoke in the air.

7:30 AM: The air is mostly clear. Thank God!

3:45 PM: Grass smoke and possibly wood smoke. Somebody is disposing of yard waste. I think I know who the culprit is.

5:05 PM: Light grass and wood smoke. Somebody is burning grass and wood. I went out and checked the usual suspect. Smoke was rising from his backyard. 69 degrees and sunny.

5:45 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke. Same person as before.

6:30 PM: No smoke.

8:45 PM: No smoke.

There was no wood smoke up until 10 PM. The air was smoky at 5 AM the next morning. If the air is smoky that early when it is this warm, it had to have been smoky all night.
