The expected particle pollution levels are the result of cold, calm air and temperature inversions that limit air movement and trap pollutants in valley areas, state officials said in a statement Tuesday.
Anyone with heart or lung conditions such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis, as well as children and elderly people, should consider limiting strenuous or prolonged activity Wednesday, state officials said.
Air quality is expected to improve Thursday morning as wind speeds increase, resulting in better mixing and cleaner air, state officials said.

Is that asphalt plant running today contributing to the unhealthy air quality and causing more health concerns for those people living near that plant or did DES order them to shut down for the day? Anyone know?
thought plants like this closed down once it got cold, what's the deal with this guy?
You can bet that there will be many more days when these alerts are issued because of this plant now and all the dust coming from the quarry.
Too bad DES is toothless as well as spineless and didn't see this coming. So much for protecting citizens and wildlife.
NH is pro business,any type whether good for the environment or not is welcome here. Lax state regulations, cash strapped towns and corrupt local governments accepting handouts is the norm and why so many out of state businesses come here. Citizens have be be ever vigilant and self govern to protect themselves from these types of polluters. This guy is well known in Massachusetts and his reputation proceeds him and yet Winchester welcomed him with open arms. You can bet someone is making money behind the scenes allowing him to operate and to pollute the area.
Do you have any proof there are bribes being paid or is this speculation on your part?
Well let's see, didn't the town pave Hawkins road with asphalt supplied by Mitchell BEFORE he even had his compliance hearing? Didn't the planning board vote to give him a final approval though he did not meet the condition they set for him back in January? Isn't it sad fact that the town's code enforcement officer has continued to look the other way and pass the buck to others regarding numerous complaints of noise and smells; both regulated by the town? Doesn't take a graduate degree from MIT to see what's going on here.
Sounds like your proof is from grammar school. yeh right. Who cares.
and the Village Idiot speaks again .. go away Ed
