Summary
July 3-5 will be under a Clark County smoke advisory as Fourth of July fireworks are expected to raise particulate pollution across the Las Vegas Valley.
Fireworks smoke can aggravate asthma, COPD, bronchitis and heart disease, while also contributing to ground-level ozone, county air-quality officials said.
Children, older adults and people with respiratory or heart conditions may need to stay indoors if air quality turns moderate or worse, especially near fireworks discharge areas.
Clark County advised residents to close windows and doors, limit outdoor exertion when smoke is visible or noticeable, and check valley monitoring data online through its air-quality network.
