Cuyahoga is under an Air Quality Advisory until 12 a.m. Tuesday morning.

The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) issued the alert for seven counties, including Cuyahoga county, Sunday night.

The agency said air quality levels could be “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” during this period.

Air Quality Advisories are issued when air quality levels will impact “children, the elderly and those with breathing difficulties,” according to the agency’s website.

In addition to monitoring outdoor activity, NOACA suggests the following:

Drive less: bike, walk, use public transit, work from home or combine trips. Visit GOhioCommute.com/NOACA to find smarter ways to travel.

When driving, don’t idle: turn off your engine.

Refill your tank after sunset.

Wait a day to mow during growing season.

Pollution can cause health difficulties including chest pain, coughing, throat irritation and congestion in some people. Those with bronchitis, emphysema and asthma may find their symptoms worsening.
