Check Before You Burn season is here again. Each year from November through the end of February, residents of the South Coast Air Basin are asked to check before burning wood in their fireplaces to limit emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Smoke from residential fireplaces is a significant source of PM2.5 during the winter months.
Residents can do their part to improve air quality by choosing not to burn wood when No-Burn Days are announced. A No-Burn Day is a 24-hour ban on wood-burning in residential fireplaces, stoves, or outdoor fire pits in the South Coast Air Basin. South Coast AQMD forecasters call for residential No-Burn Days when PM2.5 is expected to reach elevated levels due to air emissions and stagnant weather conditions.
