The Iowa DNR has issued an Air Quality Alert for all of Iowa
through 6 AM Thursday.
Intermittent heavy smoke is expected to impact most of Iowa over
the next few days at levels considered unhealthy for sensitive
groups or even unhealthy for healthy individuals. Sensitive
groups include people with respiratory illness or heart disease,
children, teenagers, the elderly, and outdoor workers.
The DNR recommends that people avoid long or intense outdoor
activities and take frequent breaks until the air quality
improves.
