Due to high winds, Clark County's Division of Air Quality has also issued a dust advisory for Wednesday, March 13 and Thursday, March 14.
County officials said airborne dust is a form of inhalable air pollution and could aggravate those with respiratory diseases as well as those with heart of lung disease and older adults.
They do have a few tips to limit your exposure to dust.
- Limit your time outside on windy days when dust is in the air.
- Keep windows and doors closed.
- Run your air conditioner inside your house and car to filter our particulates.
- Consider changing your indoor air filters if they're dirty.
- To keep dust down, drive slowly on unpaved roads.
- Don't take short cuts across vacant lots.
