* WHAT...The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for coarse particle pollution from blowing dust. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the Red or Unhealthy category. * WHERE...West central and northwest Minnesota. * WHEN...Until 9 PM CDT Friday. * IMPACTS...Some members of the general public may experience health effects. Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, may experience health effects. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Gusty winds to 60 mph will create areas of blowing dust across western Minnesota. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is forecasted to remain in the Red/Unhealthy for All category through Friday evening.

Particle pollution can get deep into the lungs and cause serious health problems such as asthma attacks, heart and lung disease symptoms, and increased risk of lung infections. Everyone can be affected, but sensitive groups such as people with lung or heart disease, older adults, people who are pregnant, children, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are at greater risk. Blowing dust/coarse particle pollution may reduce visibility. Consult local National Weather Service products for information regarding visibility restrictions. The health impacts of coarse particle pollution can be reduced by utilizing a face covering or mask. Consider utilizing a mask if you plan to be outdoors during the alert period. Keep windows closed during the alert period to protect indoor air quality.
