The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has issued an Air Quality Alert for today and Friday July 17, for elevated levels of fine particulates (PM2.5) due to wildfire smoke. Pollutants are expected to range from Very Unhealthy to Hazardous.
The alert is in effect for all of northern Michigan. This includes the following counties,
Roscommon, Charlevoix, Missaukee, Wexford, Beaver Island and surrounding islands, Mackinac Island/Bois Blanc Island, Manistee, Emmet, Iosco, Ogemaw, Presque Isle, Cheboygan, Eastern Mackinac, Alcona, Western Mackinac, Montmorency, Southeast Chippewa, Otsego, Central Chippewa, Antrim, Western Chippewa, Arenac, Leelanau, Kalkaska, Grand Traverse, Benzie, Alpena, Oscoda, Crawford, and Gladwin.
It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory diseases such as asthma. Watch for symptoms including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes.
You can help reduce air pollution by limiting activities, such as outdoor burning, and 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.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has issued an Air Quality Alert for today and Friday July 17, for elevated levels of fine particulates (PM2.5) due to wildfire smoke. Pollutants will be in the Hazardous range.

Roscommon, Charlevoix, Missaukee, Wexford, Beaver Island and surrounding islands, Mackinac Island/Bois Blanc Island, Manistee, Emmet, Iosco, Ogemaw, Presque Isle, Cheboygan, Eastern Mackinac, Alcona, Western Mackinac, Montmorency, Southeast Chippewa, Otsego, Central Chippewa, Antrim, Western Chippewa, Arenac, Leelanau, Kalkaska, Grand Traverse, Benzie, Alpena, Oscoda, Crawford, and Gladwin.
It is recommended that everyone should seek cleaner air indoors, and keep activity levels low. While indoors, you can improve indoor air quality by: closing windows and minimize opening of doors; use HVAC systems with MERV-13 filters or higher, or use portable air cleaners; and avoid activities that make indoor air quality worse, such as burning candles, using vacuums without a HEPA filter, using gas stoves, smoking, and spraying aerosol products.
If you must be outdoors for short periods of time, an N95 or P100 respirator marked with NIOSH is recommended. The respirator should fit tightly, collapse as you breathe in, and not let air in from the sides. Do not use masks for children under age 2.
