Wind can blow smoke from wildfires hundreds of miles from the fire. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) has issued an air quality alert for the entire state of Michigan due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. When the air quality gets into unhealthy ranges, you can use the following steps to keep yourself safe.
• Stay inside with your windows and doors closed. Make sure to use high-efficiency filters in your air conditioner.
• Use a portable air cleaner inside to help reduce indoor pollutants.
• Make sure to know the air quality in your area. Most weather apps for smartphones will tell you the local air quality, or you can check it on our website at https://www.geneseecountymi.gov/departments/health_department/
• If you need to go out during smoky conditions, an N95 respirator worn properly can help protect you.
• Stay inside with your windows and doors closed. Make sure to use high-efficiency filters in your air conditioner.
