The overall air quality in Santa Clara County remains poor, largely due to the hot weather, according to a Sept. 27 release from the Public Health Department. Smoke from the Loma fire, which can be seen throughout the South Bay, is affecting the air quality in mountain and South County areas. Much of the rest of the county’s air quality remains poor, but not because of the fire.Smoke may increase in Santa Clara County over the next days and week, public health officials warn. The Public Health Department is monitoring the situation through a “syndromic surveillance system” for any increases in reports of respiratory symptoms. Currently, there are no increases in Santa Clara County Emergency Department visits related to smoke.“Please pay attention to air quality and take precautions this week and weekend, especially when it comes to doing any physical activity,” said Dr. Sara Cody, Health Officer and Director of the Santa Clara County Public Health Department. “If you can see or smell smoke in the air, you may want to hold off on biking, running or other strenuous physical activities until the air clears.”When smoke can be seen or smelled, people with respiratory problems, young children and older adults should limit their time outside and stay indoors as much as possible, according to health officials. Windows and doors should be kept closed to stop smoke pollutants from coming inside. People in good health should use common sense and limit outdoor activities when smoke is visible.Symptoms that may develop from the smoke include irritation of the lungs and eyes, coughing, scratchy throat and irritated sinuses. If you develop repeated coughing, chest tightness or pain, wheezing, difficulty breathing or nausea, call your medical provider immediately.
