Lower Mainland residents can soon take a deep breath of the cool, fresh air forecast in the coming days.

Environment Canada lifted its heat warning Tuesday afternoon, after more than a week of mid-20 to low 30 C days.

An air quality advisory remains in effect because of high concentrations of ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter.

The agency is warning people to avoid strenuous outdoor activities, particularly people with heart or respiratory issues.

Smoke from a bog fire in Richmond, as well as fires in B.C.’s interior, are contributing to the ongoing haziness.
