When you breathe, very small particles -- such as dust, soot, and acid droplets -- can slip past your lung's natural defense system.
Do your garden chores gasoline-free.
On an hour-for-hour basis, a gasoline-powered lawn mower produces as much pollution as 40 new cars. On Air Quality Action days, don't use gasoline-powered equipment like leaf blowers and chain saws. Put off lawn care for a day or two until the air is cleaner - then get a good workout by pushing that trusty, old hand mower!

New roadside signs promote transit and carpooling

Using options other than driving alone to work help improve our air quality by reducing the number of vehicles on the road. To help commuters find those options, new signs are being installed along highways in the region to promote 1-866-579-RIDE, the Commuter Services of South Central Pennsylvania toll-free phone number.

Look for the blue and white signs suggesting “try carpooling” or “try transit” along some of the most congested highways, such as Interstates 83 and 81, and Routes 222, 283, 30, 322, 422, 11 and 15 in York, Lancaster, Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry and Lebanon counties.

Commuter Services free services include matching carpoolers and vanpoolers through its confidential, online ridematching database (www.PaCommuterServices.org) and, with its transit partners, assists commuters with information on transit services.
