State heath officials issue alert due to smoke

SALEM - State health officials today issued a health alert, warning Oregon residents with asthma and other lung diseases to take extra precautions to protect themselves against smoke from the state's wildfires.

State epidemiologist Mel Kohn says people with asthma are especially vulnerable to the health effects of smoke.

Smoke and ash have affected some parts of the state, particularly in central and southwestern Oregon, for days.

Kohn says people should continue to use their medications, monitor their symptoms and stay in contact with their doctors. They should also consider remaining indoors and refraining from any strenuous activities.

State officials say 290,000 Oregonians have asthma.

Oh I would LOVE to sue Daschle for health issues.

And yes, that KATU report is correct. There have been MANY DAYS when we haven't seen the sun...due to the thick smoke.

Start out by suing Kerr, the elite fascists of the ONRC, any enviral card florist pretending to be a forester, and of course the Enviral poster boy Kitzbobo.

Actually the Club Sierras and the ONRC's have made fortunes suing companies, individuals and the feds for violating the clean air and clean water acts. It seems like to me that all of these envirals should be sued for violating the clean air acts with their agendas that resulted in these disastrous fires. They sue for a lot less documented reasons.
