Wildfire smoke can affect air quality and may pose health risks, especially for children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and people with heart or lung conditions. During periods of poor air quality, consider limiting time outdoors, reducing strenuous activities, and monitoring local air quality conditions. If you have questions about wildfire smoke and protecting your health, you can contact the LMAS District Health Department for assistance. Additional information and resources are available through the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Your Health and Wildfire Smoke webpage and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s AirNow website, where you can view current air quality conditions and forecasts:
