Air quality improves in LA County but still remains unhealthy for sensitive individuals.

Outdoor sports and physical activity programs can resume except in the Santa Clarita Valley and areas of visible wildfire smoke.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY - According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, much of Los Angeles County will begin experiencing better air quality today. At this time, the County Health Officer is advising sensitive individuals to continue to monitor their conditions and limit outdoor activity.

"Schools outside the Santa Clarita Valley and away from areas of visible wildfire smoke can resume outdoor sports and physical activity programs," said Jonathan E. Fielding, MD, MPH, County Health Officer and Public Health Director. "The air quality will continue to be monitored and updates will be issued as conditions improve."

Sensitive individuals including the elderly and those with heart disease or lung disease, including emphysema and asthma, should stay indoors as much as possible.
