...AIR QUALITY ALERT FOR SUNDAY, JULY 13 THROUGH 12 PM MONDAY, JULY 14...

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
(EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Alert for elevated levels of fine
particulate (PM2.5) in the western portion of the Upper Peninsula on
Saturday and statewide Sunday until noon Monday. Pollutants across
the state are expected to reach the Very Unhealthy (Purple) to
Unhealthy (Red AQI) range in northern locations, with ranges of
Unhealthy to USG (Orange AQI) further south.

The Air Quality Alert Sunday into Monday is statewide.

Wildfire smoke from Canada will push into Michigan from Saturday to
Monday. Increased fine particulate levels will reach the western
portion of the Upper Peninsula on Saturday afternoon. The smoke will
push east and south, expanding across the rest of the state as Sunday
progresses. Highest concentrations will be seen in northern areas
with periods of Very Unhealthy to Unhealthy possible. Central
locations could see readings ranging from Unhealthy to USG, and
southern locations can expect levels of fine particulate in the
Moderate to USG range.

It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor
activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory
diseases such as asthma.

Monitor for symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness,
dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. Reduce or eliminate
activities that contribute to air pollution, such as outdoor
burning, and use of residential wood burning devices.

Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors
and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or
higher rated filters.
