Prince George’s County leads the way in many efforts to reduce air pollution while alerting employees and citizens to the potential health risks of ground-level ozone and particulate matter. The County is a member of the Clean Air Partners, a public-private partnership aimed at increasing public information about the region’s air pollution problems. Through the Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee, the County approves the region’s official plan to reduce significant air pollution by 2010.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) has issued a "CODE ORANGE" Air Quality forecast for Thursday September 2nd. Unhealthy for sensitive groups, pollution levels are harmful to children, older adults, and anyone with a respiratory or heart condition in the Washington and Baltimore metropolitan areas."
Citizens and residents are also urged to sign up to join Commuter Connections, a region-wide effort to offer ride-matching for carpools and vanpools. By sharing a ride on Air Quality Action Days, you will become an Air Quality Action Rider and help reduce pollution. Commuter Connections can also help you find the nearest transit locations for your home-to-work trip.
