"AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 11 PM EDT MONDAY" The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties: New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam. from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Sunday. Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern. When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician. A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll free number is 1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5. Weather  |  LIRR  |  Traffic  |  Traffic Cams |  Weather News  |  School Closings
Often considered another member of the family, your pet is important to you. And so should its care and health. If your pet is in need of grooming, pet care or just in need of some new toys, plenty of local and chain businesses on Long Island offer the services that fit your needs and wants. When looking into where to purchase your pets' supplies, there are things to take into account, such as type of pet, activity and the time you have for your pet. In serious circumstances, such as an injury or illness, you should visit your local veterinary hospital.


Many pet stores can be an all-in-one stop for you. Whether you need grooming, toys, training books or pet sitters, it won't be uncommon for you to find these all in the same store. This convenience makes it easy if you need to bring your pet along with you for the ride, especially in cases with dogs and cats. Often, these pet stores will service your pets while you shop. If you're a pet owner to animals other than dogs and cats, tanks, food and pet care supplies won't be hard to find either.

When looking for which pet service business is right for you, especially with dogs, make sure you take into consideration that different types of breeds require different care. Talk to your pet sitter or groomer before turning your pet over to them, making sure they know how to handle your pet.
