Saturday 11/06/2010 Air Pollution

Smoky air from yard waste during the daytime and wood smoke most of the evening.

11:55 AM: Light to moderate leaf smoke. Somebody is burning leaves. I looked around outside and did not see any smoke. It could be someone a few blocks upwind. The air was fresh prior to this time. 40 degrees.

12:38 PM: Faint leaf smoke continues. The illegal yard waste burning may be ending soon.

1:30 PM: No smoke.

5:30 PM: No smoke. 57 degrees and sunny. It is very pleasant for a late fall day.

6:15 PM: Faint wood smoke at this time. Naturally, the air is polluted with wood smoke as it usually is during the evenings.

7:45 PM: Moderate wood smoke. The air is very smoky at this time.

9:15 PM: Light to moderate wood smoke.

10:20 PM: A very faint smokiness lingers in the air.

11:30 PM: The air is mostly clear at this time.
