An air pollution advisory has been issued from Saturday to Monday, June 12.
The advisory affects the Greene, Clark, Miami and Montgomery counties, according to the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission.

The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission suggests doing the following during heavy air pollution:
– Avoid driving if possible
– Mow your lawn after 6 p.m.
– Refuel you vehicle after 8 p.m. or not at all on those days
– Limit use of small gasoline-powered equipment
