...Air Quality Alert through Monday July 20...

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
(EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Alert for July 19 and July 20, 2026,
for elevated levels of fine particulate due to wildfire smoke.
Concentrations on Sunday will range from Unhealthy for Sensitive
Groups (USG) in lower peninsula to Unhealthy across the upper
peninsula. On Monday USG concentrations are expected statewide.

This is a Statewide Air Quality Alert

Another smoke plume has settled over the region due to wildfires in
Canada. The highest levels of fine particulate will be across the
upper peninsula on Sunday. We expect the increased pollution to
continue into Monday; however, levels will improve during the day as
our winds shift to a southerly direction. With smoke lingering across
the state, ozone also has the potential to increase quickly. It is
recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor
activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory
conditions like asthma. Watch for symptoms including wheezing,
coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat,
and eyes. You can help reduce air pollution by limiting activities,
such as:
-outdoor burning;
-use of residential wood burning devices.

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