The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air
Quality Advisory for the following counties: Ashland, Bayfield,
Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Sawyer, Washburn.

WHAT...The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups to Unhealthy level.

WHERE...All of Wisconsin

WHEN...Until noon Saturday, August 2

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:
Sensitive groups: Consider rescheduling or moving all activities
inside. Go inside if you have symptoms. People with asthma:
Follow your asthma action plan and keep quick-relief medicine
handy. People with heart disease: Symptoms such as palpitations,
shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious
problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care
provider. Everyone else: Keep outdoor activities shorter and less
intense. Go inside if you have symptoms.

Additional Details:
Canadian wildfire smoke will continue to impact Wisconsin`s
surface air quality over the next several days. Conditions have
improved since Thursday as a pocket of cleaner air has
infiltrated the widespread blanket of dense smoke across eastern
Wisconsin. However, a mix of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG;
Orange) AQI and Unhealthy (Red) AQI is still expected today, with
locations farther north more likely to see heavier smoke.
Continued gradual improvement is currently anticipated heading
into the weekend, but USG (Orange) AQI to Unhealthy (Red) AQI
will remain possible. Conditions will continue to be reevaluated
on a day-to-day basis, including updates to the forecast and any
associated Air Quality Advisories.
