Burning wood is banned in homes that can be heated in other ways.
The fog is expected to stick around the Bay Area for much of the week, forecasters said Monday. For at least another day, so is the unhealthy air.
Bay Area residents are not allowed to burn wood or manufactured logs, or to use pellet stoves are outdoor fire pits. Fire places can be used only by those who have no other means to heat their homes. “We’re getting some bottom-level mixing of pollutants, and some wind that pushed the tule fog westward to the Bay Area,” NWS meteorologist Matt Mehle said. “It happened Sunday. It happened . It’s likely to keep happening this week.”
The air in the North Bay also was particularly bad, with air-quality index readings near Santa Rosa forecast to reach 102. Anything above 100 is considered unhealthy for those with respiratory issues.
