The South Coast Air Quality Management District is predicting that air quality Tuesday will be unhealthy for all individuals in the Santa Clarita Valley and for sensitive individuals in the east and west San Fernando Valley, east and west San Gabriel Valley, Pomona Walnut Valley and San Gabriel Mountains.

Los Angeles County Health Officer Muntu Davis advised people living or working in those areas to minimize outdoor activities if they suffer from heart disease, asthma or other respiratory illnesses. Children who have sensitive conditions also should not participate in outdoor physical activity and should stay indoors as much as possible, the doctor said.
