The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services has issued
an Air Quality Alert for fine particulates for Allendale, Beaufort,
Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Hampton, and Jasper
Counties in South Carolina. An Air Quality Alert means that the fine
particulate concentrations within the specified areas may approach
or exceed unhealthy standards for most of the general public.

Southerly winds on the west side of high pressure centered just off
the Southeast coast will continue to transport smoke from the
southern Georgia wildfires into South Carolina and the Central
Savannah River Area. As of the early afternoon hours Wednesday, air
quality was already deteriorating over the Central Savannah River
Area and the Midlands. As stable conditions develop overnight, smoke
is expected to expand in coverage and become more noticeable. Smoke
from the wildfires is expected to continue to affect the region on
Thursday.

The department recommends that individuals with respiratory health
issues limit time spent outdoors and/or move all activities indoors
to avoid the smoke or fine particulates. Keep windows and doors
closed. Run an air conditioner if you have one but keep the fresh-air
intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke and fine
particulates from getting inside. Please note that locations closest
to the wildfire activity are more likely to experience smoke at any
given time.
