With hazardous levels of smoke lingering over Los Angeles County as a result of the slew of wildfires currently burning throughout the region, county officials are urging the public to stay safe.
The air quality led Los Angeles Unified School District officials to close all campuses on both Thursday and Friday, due to the danger presented to students. Superintendent Alberto Carvalho discussed how pressing it is to keep students and staff safe while the threatening conditions persists.
It was first issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management early in the week and extended until at least Friday evening. Current numbers on the Air Quality Index show most of Los Angeles County in unhealthy to hazardous levels as of Thursday. 'Smoke for us, is the enemy,' Carvalho said. Wildfire smoke typically carries high levels of PM2.
