The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued a Spare the Air Health Alert in 2011 as hot temperatures and light winds are expected to combine for poor air quality on Monday, Sept. 19 and Tuesday, Sept. 20.

• carpool or vanpool with friends or co-workers;
• take public transportation;
• telecommute;
• link necessary trips and postpone errands if possible.
