NJFB President Allen Carter advises that caution should be observed with outdoor activity today and until the wildfire smoke conditions are alleviated. Governor Phil Murphy has declared an Air Quality Action alert for particulate matter because of it; he urges those with heart or lung conditions to stay safe and limit strenuous activity. The state Department of Agriculture has information on its social media platforms with similar precautions for human health protection as well as livestock animals.

Consider the use of facial protection like N-95 masks that were useful during the covid pandemic. The air quality consequences from prolonged exposure is important to consider, especially for your labor force.

Thank you.
