As of June 28, 2010, there has been no substantial impact on air quality in Northwest Florida. On a rare occasion, odors similar to what one would smell around a gas station, auto repair shop or marina have been detected. These odors have lasted for a couple to several hours. The daily air quality index for Northwest Florida can be found at: www.airnow.gov. Under ANNOUNCEMENTS is a link to Gulf of Mexico Air Quality Information including real time ozone and particle pollution information. Even before the oil spill, the air quality index ranged between GOOD and MODERATE. Learn more about the Air Quality Index. Sign up for email notification through EnviroFlash to receive daily reports about the local air quality. To get information for Northwest Florida, choose the City of Pensacola.

The State of Florida has authorized the U.S. Coast Guard to conduct oil burns in Florida waters. Florida waters run from the shoreline to 9 miles off-shore. No burns are scheduled. The Escambia County Health Department will be notified in advance of a burn and will release information about the dates and timing of the burns to the public through all normal media outlets.
