The upper peninsula will be most affected by the smoke on Saturday with fine particulate levels deteriorating from north to south through Saturday. Concentrations will be high enough across northern areas to warrant an Air Quality Alert for Saturday, and by Sunday levels will be high enough to warrant another statewide Alert. With smoke lingering across the state, ozone also has the potential to increase quickly. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory conditions like 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; - 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.
