...AIR QUALITY ALERT NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CDT MONDAY...

* WHAT...The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air
  Quality Alert for fine particles pollution. The Air Quality
  Index (AQI) is expected to reach the Red or Unhealthy category.

* WHERE...Northeast Minnesota.

* WHEN...Until 6 PM CDT Monday.

* IMPACTS...Some members of the general public may experience
  health effects. Sensitive groups, such as people with lung
  disease (including asthma), heart disease, and children and
  older adults, may experience health effects.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Wildfire smoke that impacted the state this
  weekend continues to move east and has exited the state. Air
  quality has improved below the alert threshold for southern
  Minnesota, and therefore the alert has been cancelled for this
  part of the state. Another round of smoke has moved into
  northwest Minnesota and will result in poor air quality across
  northern Minnesota through Monday evening. The current air
  quality alert has been extended until 6 PM on Monday. Air
  quality is expected to reach the Red (Unhealthy) category across
  northern Minnesota for the remainder of Sunday and for Monday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, should
avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. The general public should limit
prolonged or heavy exertion. Reduce or eliminate activities that
contribute to air pollution, such as outdoor burning, and use of
residential wood burning devices. Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle
idling as much as possible. Keep windows closed overnight to
prevent smoke from getting indoors.
