Persistent Poor Air Quality Continues to Impact Health and Weather Conditions

Air quality in Michigan, particularly in Lansing, remains unhealthy due to smoke and haze from Canadian wildfires, with readings as high as 166 on the AirNow website. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy has declared "action days" this week, advising people to limit outdoor activities. The smoke and haze are also affecting other parts of Michigan, including Detroit, Ypsilanti, Flint, and Saginaw. The air quality is expected to fluctuate until a strong front and change in wind direction occur.
