Don’t let our air go up in smoke!

 

It’s difficult to beat the ambiance of burning wood in a fireplace, chiminea or fire pit during the holiday season with family and friends. But all that smoke creates unhealthy air conditions in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

 

Maricopa County has higher levels of air pollution caused by wood burning smoke, especially during the winter months. This puts the county at risk of not meeting federal health standards and endangering the health of individuals, especially those with asthma, young children and the elderly.
