Saturday 03/31/2012 Air Pollution

It's quite a sight to see people standing around a smoky bonfire dressed in coats and gloves or with hands stuffed in pockets to keep warm.  We saw that this evening at a house nearby.  We saw two bonfires and one person illegally burning yard waste within a quarter mile of home this evening. 

6:00 PM:  The air is not fresh.  Something is in it.  49 degrees and cloudy.

8:00 PM:  Not fresh air continues.

8:25 PM:  A very faint trace of wood smoke is in the air at this time.  It could be from the bonfire burning nearby with people dressed in coats around the bonfire.

9:40 PM:  Very faint to faint wood smoke.

10:15 PM:  Faint to light wood smoke.

10:45 PM:  Faint to light wood smoke continues.

The smoke got heavier after midnight.
