Mary Alice Reporting –
Some individuals may need to take precautions on this Monday as the air quality sits at unhealthy.
AirNow encourages those with lung disease, older adults, and children to avoid strenuous outdoor activity and keep any outside activity short.
Those sensitive to particle pollution should also follow those guidelines.
The current local air reading is at 155 and this is due to the wildfire smoke in Canada moving across several US states.
The National Weather Service said Sunday that “air quality alerts are in place for much of the Great Lakes, Midwest, and northern High Plains … due to the lingering thick concentration of Canadian wildfire smoke over these regions.”
