Michigan Issues Air Quality Alert Due to Canada Wildfires

An air quality alert has been issued in Michigan due to smoke from Canadian wildfires, with the concentration of fine particulates potentially resulting in unhealthy air quality, particularly for sensitive groups. The alert is expected to be short-lived, but officials warn that warmer temperatures later in the week could lead to higher ozone levels. Detroit has opened its recreation centers and public library branches as cooling centers for residents to seek relief from the poor air quality and heat. The number of air quality action days in Detroit has already reached 19 this year, compared to five last year.
