Check the air quality Atlanta

The smell of chlorine in the air and unhealthy air quality still linger across north Georgia after a fire broke out on Sunday at the chemical BioLab in Conyers, Ga.

A fire at BioLab, which makes pool and spa treatments, produced a chemical cloud on Sunday. Water from a sprinkler system reacted with chemicals on site, causing evacuations near the plant. In the Atlanta metro yesterday, dense fog and a chlorine smell frightened some residents.

The WindRadar shows winds under 15 mph, meaning this smoke will linger across north Georgia. Residents of Rockdale County have been told to put shelter in place on Tuesday morning. This smoke plume also affects air quality across north Georgia, including the highly populated Atlanta metro.

Our Air Quality Tool shows air quality impacts throughout the week. If you live in north Georgia, check the air quality before heading outdoors, especially if you are in a sensitive group. Our WindRadar can also help you determine the direction in which the smoke is heading.
