The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
has issued an Air Quality Advisory for Monday August 11, for
elevated levels of fine particulates (PM2.5) due to smoke from
wildfires in Canada. Pollutants are expected to be in the Unhealthy
for Sensitive Groups range.

The alert is in effect for the following Michigan Counties,

Southeast Chippewa, Central Chippewa, Western Chippewa, Mackinac
Island/Bois Blanc Island, Eastern Mackinac, and Western Mackinac.

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.
