...Air Quality Advisory for Sunday June 22 and Monday June 23...

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy
(EGLE) has declared an Air Quality Advisory for both June 22 and
June 23, 2025, for elevated levels of ozone in western counties of
Michigan. Pollutants within those areas are expected to be in the
Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG, Orange AQI) range.

The Air Quality Advisory for Sunday and Monday is in effect for the
following Michigan counties:

Allegan, Kent, Mason, Muskegon, Oceana, Ottawa, and Van Buren

We are in the peak of ozone season, and the current forecast shows
ozone-conducive conditions for Sunday and Monday. Surface
temperatures in the 90s, coupled with ample sunlight and southwest
winds, create an environment favorable for ozone development along
the Lake Michigan shoreline.

It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor
activities, especially those with respiratory diseases such as
asthma.

People and businesses are urged to avoid activities which can lead
to ozone formation. These activities include:

refueling vehicles or topping off when refueling;
using gasoline powered lawn equipment;
using charcoal lighter fluid.

Positive activities include:

driving less;
telecommuting;
walking or bike riding;
delaying or combining errands;
using water-based paints.
