...Air Quality Alert Sunday July 13th through Monday July 14th...
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
(EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Alert for elevated levels of fine
particulate (PM2.5) for Sunday July 13th through Monday July 14th.
Pollutants across the state are expected to reach the Unhealthy (Red
AQI) to USG (Orange AQI) range in northern locations, with ranges of
USG to Moderate further south.
The Air Quality Alert Sunday and Monday is statewide. Wildfire smoke
from Canada continues to push into Michigan on Sunday, with additional
plumes expected Monday. Increased fine particulate levels due to
smoke are being seen Sunday morning across the Upper Peninsula into
the northern portion of the Lower Peninsula. The smoke will continue
tracking east and south, expanding across the rest of the state as
Sunday progresses, and additional plumes are forecast to move in on
Monday. The highest fine particulate concentrations will be seen in
northern areas with periods of Unhealthy AQI possible. Central
locations could see readings ranging from Unhealthy to USG, and
southern locations can expect levels of fine particulate in the USG
to Moderate range.
It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor
activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory
diseases like 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; 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.

Quality Alert for fine particles pollution. The Air Quality Index
(AQI) is expected to reach the Purple or Very Unhealthy category.
* WHERE...Central and south central Minnesota.
* WHEN...Until 9 AM CDT Monday.
* IMPACTS...The risk of health effects is increased for everyone.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heavy ground-level smoke from wildfires in
central Canada moved into northwest Minnesota early Friday
morning behind a cold front. This first band of smoke is
currently impacting northern Minnesota as it moves east during
the day Friday. Air quality will worsen across northeast
Minnesota Friday evening as smoke arrives over the region. A
second round of smoke will move into northwest Minnesota late
Friday evening. This smoke will be more widespread as it moves
southeast overnight, and by Saturday afternoon the entire state
may be impacted. The heaviest smoke on Saturday will be across
the northern half of the state. Air quality will begin to improve
across western Minnesota Sunday morning as cleaner air moves in
from the west. By Sunday evening, the smoke should be gone from
most of the state. Another round of smoke is possible across far
northern Minnesota Sunday night.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, should
avoid all physical activities outdoors. The general public should
avoid 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.
