The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued an Air Quality Advisory for the entire state of Ohio until 1:00AM, Friday, June 9, 2023.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to adversely impact air quality. The Agency expects the Air Quality Index to be in the unhealthy for sensitive groups` to `unhealthy` ranges.
When air quality is in this range, people who are in sensitive groups (due to medical conditions, exposure conditions, or innate susceptibility) may experience health effects during outdoor activities. To decrease the potential for health issues, sensitive groups of people (children, elderly, people with asthma or COPD) should limit prolonged or strenuous outdoor activity.
