Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) advises that periods of poor air quality are likely in Alphington until Friday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast dry days with cold, stable atmospheric conditions, which can result in pollution accumulation during mornings and evenings.
The periods of poor air quality are likely due to the additional contribution caused by urban wood-heating emissions at this time of year.
EPA encourages households with wood heaters to take practical steps to help reduce smoke from their heaters over winter.
