Thousands advised to stay inside in Mississippi [View all]

Residents in Jackson and its surrounding areas in Mississippi face potentially harmful air pollution levels as of early Sunday morning, according to monitoring resource AirNow.

As of approximately 2:20 a.m. CST, AirNow shows an area of fine particle (PM2.5) pollution in the “unhealthy” category centered over the city.

According to the AirNow map, this zone also extends west over Vicksburg, north over Durant, east over Forest, and south over Brookhaven.

At these levels of air pollution, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that sensitive groups avoid long or intense outdoor activities and consider rescheduling moving them indoors.
