...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY...

An Air Quality Advisory from the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality remains in effect through Sunday August 3, for
elevated levels of fine particulates (PM2.5). Pollutants are expected
to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range.....with some
areas reaching the Unhealthy range.

The advisory is in effect for the following Michigan counties:
Chippewa, Mackinac, Emmet, Cheboygan, Presque Isle, Charlevoix,
Leelanau, Antrim, Otsego, Montmorency, Alpena, Benzie, Grand
Traverse, Kalkaska, Crawford, Oscoda, Alcona, Manistee, Wexford,
Missaukee, Roscommon, Ogemaw, Iosco, Gladwin, and Arenac.

Canadian wildfire smoke has overspread northern Michigan and is
expected to persist through at least Sunday. High pressure over the
Midwest will continue to funnel wildfire smoke into the state with
little to no dispersion expected due to stagnant conditions.

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.

Air Quality Advisory through Sunday August 3, 2025

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. Pollutants are
expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG, Orange
AQI) range with some areas reaching Unhealthy (Red AQI) range.

The Air Quality Advisory includes all Michigan counties

Canadian wildfire smoke will re-enter Michigan, statewide, Saturday
afternoon and persist through at least Sunday. A High-pressure system
sitting in the Midwest will continue to funnel wildfire smoke into
the state and cause little to no dispersion due to stagnant
conditions.

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.
