Air Quality Advisory through Saturday August 2nd...

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
(EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Advisory for elevated levels of fine
particulate (PM2.5) across the state of Michigan. Smoke from Canadian
wildfires remains over the state through Saturday and possibly into
Sunday. Pollutants across the state are expected to be in the
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG, Orange AQI) range with some
locations reaching the Unhealthy (Red AQI) range.

The Air Quality Advisory includes all Michigan counties.

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.
