...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.
