Weather Alert
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.

Wantagh is a hamlet and census-designated place on the South Shore of Long Island in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, New York. The community is served by the Wantagh Union Free School District.
The area was originally inhabited by the Meroke tribe of Metoac Native Americans. Wantaugh was the name of the Sachem of the Merokes at the time the first europeans arrived in the mid-17th Century. Later, he became the Grand Sachem of the Montauk tribes, and it if for him that the community is named. The area was originally referred to as Jerusalem. The community’s first post office was built in 1837, and in the 1880’s the Ridgewood Station of the Long Island Railroad was opened. The community was later renamed Wantagh since the name Ridgewood was in use by another community in the state.
According to the 2010 census, the population of Wantagh is 18,871. The median household income is listed as $101,538.
