Delaware Issues 'Code Orange' Alert For Tuesday

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Delaware is issuing a statewide "code orange" air-quality alert.

Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control officials say ground-level ozone concentrations on Tuesday may be unhealthy for people in sensitive groups. Those groups include children, people with asthma or other lung diseases or heart diseases, and the elderly. Officials are urging people to avoid strenuous activity outdoors.

Tuesday is expected to be the first of several days of poor air quality.
