Make it three days in a row.
At noon today, Bay Area air quality officials issued a Spare the Air alert for Friday.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District already had a wood burning ban in effect for Thursday.
Friday will be the third consecutive Spare the Air day. It'll also be the sixth time this month a Spare The Air order has been issued.
The prohibition is in effect all day and all night both Thursday and Friday.
The alerts prohibit the burning of wood, firelogs, pellets or other solid fuels in a fireplace or other wood-burning device. Residents whose only source of heat is wood burning are exempt from the prohibition.
First-time violators are given the option of taking an online wood smoke class or paying a $100 fine. Second-time violators are fined $500. The fines continue to increase with each violation.
"Like cigarette smoke, wood smoke has immediate health impacts for both residents inside the home and surrounding neighbors as well," said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the air district. "When a Winter Spare the Air Alert is called, wood smoke pollution sits in our neighborhoods creating unhealthy air for Bay Area residents."
In the winter, wood smoke from the 1.4 million fireplaces and wood stoves in the Bay Area is the single largest source of air pollution, contributing about one-third of the harmful fine particulate pollution in the air. Exposure to wood smoke — like cigarette smoke — has been linked to serious respiratory illnesses and even increased risk of heart attacks.

1.) Talking--takes air in and out to do that, meanwhile your lungs process that oxygen and expel CO2, a "greenhouse gas"; 2.) Breathing--what your lungs would be doing anyway if you weren't talking, still emits CO2; 3.) Flatulation--the gassy and sometimes smelly expulsion of gases like CO2, Hydrogen Sulfide and even Methane that are generated in the digesting of food, both CO2 as mentioned above and Methane are "greenhouse gases"; 4.) Belching--like flatulation, but is emitted through the orifice where one took in their food, usually CO2 is emitted in this manner, but depending on the elemental and chemical composition of the food being digested by the organism, other gases may be present; 5.) Defecation--besides solid wastes, gases are also emitted during this process, including the ones mentioned in the Flatulation process; 6.) Perspiration--the sweat being excreted by an organism that could do this may also involve some processes that can also be detrimental to the environment around them, such as heat transfer, evaporation, and possibly even chemical reactions as such materials as salts and sulfates precipitate as they come in contact with the open air, and; 7.) Ingestion--where the organism takes in materials for the digestion and the organism's own sustanance. So if you want to restrict everything to spare the air, clamp down on the above 7 processes.
