The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air
Quality Advisory for Tuesday June 3, for elevated levels of
fine particulates (PM2.5) produced 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,

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

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
