    Check the air quality Atlanta

BioLab fire
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.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
