本周重点报道小贴士
接下来的几个星期, it is likely that the U of I community will experience intermittent smoke outdoors due to wildfires in the region. This outdoor air contaminant can have negative effects on personal health and may trigger restrictions of outdoor activities.
当烟雾在地平线上, 空气质量指数(AQI)有助于识别潜在的健康风险, who may be impacted and at what point specific actions should be taken. 请记住，室内空气质量不属于空气质量指数的一部分, 但是野火产生的烟雾会影响室内空气质量.
什么是空气质量指数?
The Air Quality Index is a measure of multiple contaminants in the air outside. It can be forecast over a few days and generally fluctuates based on temperature and wind direction. 空气质量指数是臭氧的组合, 一氧化碳, 二氧化氮, 二氧化硫和颗粒物, 像烟雾或烟雾. 因为该指数是空气污染物的综合, a spike in one or more specific contaminants can drive the overall index upward.
空气质量指数在0-500的范围内以单个数字表示. The scale provides different levels at which specific health hazards and symptoms can be expected. 在某些情况下，建议限制户外活动. 莫斯科的数据来自8号公路上的气象站. Additional information on these levels and the AQI scale can be found at the links below:
如何使用空气质素指数
Understanding the AQI can help you decide what precautions to take while outdoors. 当烟雾是导致空气质量指数上升的已知污染物时, you can take measures to protect yourself from particulate matter or strenuous activity outdoors. Sensitive groups should take extra precautions and be mindful of how the change in outdoor air quality might impact personal health. 这些组包括:
- 患有心脏或肺部疾病的人
- 哮喘患者
- 老年人
- 年幼的孩子
- 需要在户外进行艰苦工作、锻炼或训练的人

When planning your decorations for 同学会 or Halloween, think fire safety. Buy decorations that are flame-resistant and place them where they will not obscure exit signs, 出口门, 应急灯或灭火器. 远离热源, do not place on doors leading to building corridors or within the corridor itself and keep them from blocking exits or creating trip hazards in walkways.
使用LED照明的南瓜灯和效果. 所有的装饰照明都应该是U型的.L. 列出的不产生热量的类型. 不要用延长线从一个房间到另一个房间, 永远不要在门口或走道上绑绳子. 记住，蜡烛和使用明火.g.严禁在建筑物内使用蜡烛、灯具和熏香.

365滚球官网应急小组
The University of Idaho maintains an Emergency Response Team (UIERT) through the office of 环境健康与安全. This team’s purpose is to provide rapid response to incidents that threaten lives, 财产和/或环境, 包括化学, 放射性和生物危害事件.
的UIERT, 由EHS的所有成员组成, is trained and equipped to handle most incidents that may occur on campus. 所有团队成员都完成了, 至少, a 40-hour hazardous waste operations and emergency response (HAZWOPER) course as well as FEMA training in Incident Command and are ready to respond to small and major incidents. 的UIERT maintains an Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) which is fully stocked and ready to use at a moment’s notice.
The team responds to about 9 incidents of any size per year; these are mostly small incidents. The last major response was in June 2018 for a major oil spill at the dairy farm. 一辆自卸卡车被架空电线绊住了, pulling down two attached power poles which had 3 transformers on each and resulted in a spill of approximately 100 gallons total of mineral oil. The team worked long hours in the sun to capture the spilled oil from the pavement and dig up barrels of contaminated soil to protect the environment.
The team also has an agreement with the City of 莫斯科 to respond to other incidents in the city as requested. This service is activated as needed by the Incident Commander acting for the City of 莫斯科 and may be initiated by calling 911.The team continuously collaborates with the state of Idaho Fire Marshal, 莫斯科志愿消防队, 爱达荷州环境质量部, 和华盛顿州立大学共享信息, 计划事件响应并参与培训.
