The intersection of Jones Avenue and 441 in Zellwood The Daily Sludge Report Zero Days Without A Smell Report Check back for updates as reports come in Please Help Me Get Rid of This Smell so I Can Do Other Stuff  A trip down Jones Avenue on a very smelly morning 7:00 AM on Wednesday, March 4th and the Smell is horrendous.

Action Plan for Clean Air in Northwest Orange County Draft in Progress Who is at Risk From Poor Air Quality : Poor air quality can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, cause shortness of breath, aggravate asthma and other respiratory conditions, and affect the heart and cardiovascular system so everyone is at risk. Who is Most at Risk From Poor Air Quality :  Pound for pound, children breathe more than adults and are more sensitive to pollution.
