The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Pollution Advisory through 12:00 p.m. Wednesday for southern Klamath County and Lake County.

An Air Quality Alert from DEQ said this is due to stagnant air conditions trapping smoke and other pollutants near the ground where people breathe.

The Advisory area includes Crater Lake National Park, Klamath Falls, Lakeview, and surrounding locations.

People at risk include infants and young children, people with heart or lung disease, older adults and those who are pregnant. These people should stay indoors while the smoke levels are high.
