...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO MIDNIGHT EDT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at
Albany has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for Fine
Particulates from midnight tonight to midnight EDT Wednesday night.

Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an Air Quality Index value of 135 for Fine Particulates. The Air
Quality Index...or AQI...was created as an easy way to correlate
levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI
value...the greater the health concern.

When pollution levels are elevated...the New York State Department
of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous
outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health
effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of
elevated levels of pollutants include the very young and those with
pre-existing respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease.
Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal
physician.

...Air Quality Alert in effect for Wednesday July 15th...

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
(EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Alert for Wednesday July 15th, 2026,
for elevated levels of fine particulate due to wildfire smoke.
Pollutants within those areas are expected to be in the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups with the potential for Unhealthy, especially north.

This is a Statewide Air Quality Alert.

Plumes of smoke from Canadian wildfires are expected to move into
the region this week. The plumes will reach the upper peninsula this
evening, sinking into the northern lower peninsula overnight. Models
are showing the smoke plumes will reach the Michigan/Indiana border
Wednesday evening.

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 and 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.
