experience health effects.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Smoke from numerous wildfires across the
Saskatchewan province in Canada is currently pushing into
northwestern Minnesota overnight Tuesday behind a cold front. The
cold front will stall over northwest Minnesota during Wednesday which
will cause the smoke to linger through the day Wednesday and into
Thursday morning. Air quality is expected to reach the Orange
(Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups) AQI category across the alert area
during this time. Air quality should improve by Thursday morning as
easterly winds blow the smoke westward out of Minnesota.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, should limit
prolonged or heavy exertion.
Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution, such
as outdoor burning, and use of residential wood burning devices.
Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle idling as much as possible.
