Air Quality Alert issued July 14 at 2:56PM EDT by NWS Buffalo NY
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at Albany has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for Fine Particulates from midnight tonight to midnight EDT Wednesday night. Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an Air Quality Index value of 135 for Fine Particulates. The Air Quality Index...or AQI...was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value...the greater the health concern. When pollution levels are elevated...the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young and those with pre-existing respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician. For additional information, please visit the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website at, https://on.ny.gov/nyaqi, or call the Air Quality Hotline at 1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5.
About
Allegany State Park is New York's largest state park, encompassing over 65,000 acres of forested hills in the Allegheny Mountains near the Pennsylvania border. The park is divided into two main areas: the Quaker Area with Cain Hollow and Diehl Trail campgrounds, and the Red House Area with tent and trailer sites. Combined, the park offers 303 campsites, 336 cabins ranging from rustic to modern, 8 cottages, and two group camps. Campsite amenities include bath houses with hot showers, restrooms, potable water from spigots throughout the camping loops, and a dump station for RVs. Many sites feature 50 amp electric hookups. The park provides a convenience store, laundry facilities, and restaurant access. Recreation options are extensive: two swimming beaches, boat and bike rentals, fishing piers, tennis courts, playgrounds, and miles of hiking and horseback riding trails with interpretive programs. The Fancher Cottages in the Quaker Area are fully accessible year-round vacation rentals, while select cabins and cottages remain open beyond the main camping season. Pets are permitted with a maximum of 2 per site on leashes no longer than 6 feet, and current rabies vaccination proof is required at check-in.
