The Prince George-Vanderhoof area is under an Air Quality Warning.
The Ministry of Environment and Parks in collaboration with the Northern Health Authority issued it due to elevated fine particulate matter.
Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, older adults, individuals with chronic conditions (such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes) or respiratory infections, and those who are pregnant.
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as continuing eye or throat irritation, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cough or wheezing, should follow the advice of their health care provider.
Current conditions are expected to persist until weather conditions change and/or local emissions are reduced.
A further update is expected later today (Monday).
