Over a Million Americans Told to Combine Errands as Alert Hits 9 States
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Air quality alerts had been issued for nine states as of Sunday morning, with residents in some areas advised to combine errands in order to help reduce pollution levels. Why It Matters According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), studies have linked particle pollution exposure to various health effects, including respiratory symptoms—such as coughing and wheezing, the development of asthma and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. What To Know In collaboration with local agencies, the National Weather Service (NWS) had published air quality alerts for the following states as of Sunday: Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Illinois Indiana New York Vermont Maine New Hampshire These were issued due to potentially hazardous levels of fine particulate pollution triggered by wildfire smoke flowing into the U.S. from neighboring Canada. In Indiana, advisories affecting over a million residents across numerous counties, including but not limited to Lake, Porter, and Elkheart, advised locals to take steps to help reduce pollution such as avoiding the use of drive-thru lanes and combining errands into one trip. Authorities also suggested limiting vehicle use by walking, biking, or using public transportation if possible. Air quality alerts had been in effect for parts of the U.S. for multiple days due to Canadian wildfire smoke. In a social media post on Friday, AccuWeather reported that the smoke resulted in Chicago having "the worst air quality in the world for several hours and blanketing the skyline in haze" What People Are Saying AccuWeather meteorologist Dan Pydynowski told Newsweek on Friday: "Smoke and haze creating poor air quality at times will likely continue to be an issue in [the Great Lakes, Upper Midwest and central U.S.] through the weekend and into early next week. "The smoke/haze will gradually spread south and east later this weekend into early next week as well, perhaps getting into parts of the Northeast U.S. and the central-southern Plains too." NWS Burlington, Vermont, said on X, formerly Twitter, Saturday: "If you've noticed it becoming hazier this afternoon, you're not mistaken. Canadian wildfire smoke is again entering the region and it is expected to linger for a couple days. Air Quality Alerts have been issued area-wide for tomorrow." The National Weather Service said in a post on X, Friday: "The view from our GOES East satellite at sunrise revealed widespread wildfire smoke that is resulting in large areas of unhealthy air quality, and Air Quality Alerts for at least portions of eight U.S. states. Take precautions." What Happens Next The NWS issues updates regularly on its website.

Smoke From Canadian Wildfires Brings Unhealthy Air to Large Swaths of the Midwest
Smoke from Canadian wildfires hovered over several Midwestern states Saturday, bringing warnings of unhealthy air for at least the third day. Air quality alerts were in effect in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as eastern Nebraska and parts of Indiana and Illinois. Forecasters said the smoky skies would remain for much of the day. People with lung disease, heart disease, children, older adults and pregnant women are most susceptible to the poor breathing conditions.

Canada wildfire smoke brings unhealthy air to large swaths of the Midwest
Smoke from Canadian wildfires hovered over several Midwestern states Saturday, bringing warnings of unhealthy air for at least the third day. Air quality alerts were in effect in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as eastern Nebraska and parts of Indiana and Illinois. Forecasters said the smoky skies would remain for much of the day. People with lung disease, heart disease, children, older adults and pregnant women are most susceptible to the poor breathing conditions. Canadian environmental officials said smoke from forest fires that was causing reduced visibility and poor quality would persist into Sunday for some areas. The Switzerland-based air quality monitoring database IQAir, which assesses air quality in real time, listed the city of Minneapolis as having some of the worst air pollution in the world since Friday. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the red or unhealthy category in a large swath of Minnesota and will likely remain through Saturday. AQI is a system used to communicate how much air pollution is in the air. It breaks pollution down into six categories and colors, and advice on what isn't safe to do. They range from 'good' (the color green) to 'hazardous' (maroon). 'What's been unique in this go-around is that we've had this prolonged stretch of smoke particulates towards the surface, so that's where we've really had the air quality in the red here for the past few days," said Joe Strus, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area in Minnesota. 'We've sort of been dealing with this, day in and day out, where you walk outside and you can taste the smoke, you can smell it," he said. "Sometimes we've been in higher concentrations than others. Other times it's just looked a little hazy out there.' The air quality on Saturday was improving, specifically across the Twin Cities and southwestern Minnesota, he said, but state health officials warned the air could remain unhealthy for sensitive groups through Monday. The smoke could start to dissipate Saturday before spreading as far south as Tennessee and Missouri. The EPA's Air Quality Index converts all pollutant levels into a single number. The lower the number, the better. Anything below 50 is classified as 'healthy.' Fifty to 100 is 'moderate' while 100-150 is unhealthy for 'sensitive groups." Anything above 150 is bad for everyone. Parts of Minnesota exceeded that number on Saturday. Health officials advise people with asthma and other lung disease, heart disease, children and older adults to avoid prolonged exposure to smoke and limit strenuous activities. They said to avoid burning things that could make the air pollution worse, and keep windows and doors closed to keep the smoke from getting inside. 'This is something that's become part of our summer here the last few years," said Strus, "and I think a lot of us are just looking forward to seeing a little more movement in the atmospheric winds and we'll be able to hopefully disperse some of the smoke out of here in the next few days.' ___ The Associated Press receives support from the Walton Family Foundation for coverage of water and environmental policy.
