A smoke advisory was issued Sunday by Clark County’s Division of Air Quality, the agency said in a release.

Air Quality forecasters say smoke from coastal California wildfires is drifting into the region, increasing levels of particulate matter pollution in the area. Residents should take necessary precautions.

According to the EPA, people who may be most sensitive to elevated levels of particulates and ozone include individuals with respiratory problems, cardiac disease, young children and senior citizens. Consult your physician if you have a medical condition that makes you sensitive to air quality conditions.

Helpful tips to limit personal exposure to smoke

— Stay indoors when you see or smell smoke.

— Keep windows and doors closed.

— Limit outdoor exertion on days with high levels of fine particulates in the air. Exercise makes you breathe heavier and increases the amount of particulates you are likely to inhale.

— Consider changing your indoor air filters if they are dirty.
