Air Quality Alert issued June 4 at 12:39PM EDT by NWS Northern Indiana

The officials at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
have declared an Air Quality Action Day, in effect for Thursday June
5th.

An Air Quality Action Day for PM 2.5 has been issued, mainly due
to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The associated fine particulate
levels are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups
range. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory
disease, such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exposure.

Here are some recommended actions that the public can take:

* Walk, bike, carpool or use public transportation.
* Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one trip.
* Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn
equipment until after 7pm.
* Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds.
* Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.
