Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The fireworks may be done but the bad air they leave behind is sticking around.
Clark County continues to be under an Air Quality Advisory through Wednesday, due to elevated levels of smoke from fireworks.
DES Division of Air Quality officials say smoke is made of small dust particles and other pollutants that can aggravate respiratory diseases and contribute to ground-level ozone formation.
These pollutants can also aggravate respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma or heart disease. Consult your physician if you have a medical condition that makes you sensitive to air quality conditions.
Under moderate or worse air quality conditions, it may be best for children, older adults and people with respiratory and heart disease to stay indoors.
