Wednesday 07/14/2010 Air Pollution

More smoky, polluted air this evening. This time it is burning grass with a little wood.

4:10 PM: No smoke. 85 degrees and very humid. There was a thunderstorm and rain around 2 PM. The grass is a little wet.

6:00 PM: No smoke. 93 degrees and humid.

7:00 PM: No smoke.

8:00 PM: No smoke.

9:00 PM: Light to moderate grass smoke with a little wood varying with the breeze. Somebody is burning yard waste. It is a common practice for grass burners to burn wood and throw their grass clippings on top of it. Are we not fortunate to have a city council that allows such air pollution?

10:00 PM: No smoke.

10:30 PM: No smoke. Last check of the evening.
