Air Quality Alert issued June 21 at 10:29AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE)
has declared an Air Quality Advisory for Sunday June 22, for
elevated levels of ozone. Pollutants are expected to be in the
unhealthy range for sensitive groups.
The advisory is in effect for the following Michigan Counties,
Charlevoix, Antrim, Manistee, Leelanau, Emmet, Grand Traverse, and
Benzie.
We are in the peak of ozone season, and the current forecast shows
ozone-conducive conditions for Sunday. Surface temperatures in the
90s, coupled with ample sunlight and southwest winds, create an
environment favorable for ozone development along the Lake Michigan
shoreline.
It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor
activities, especially those with respiratory diseases such as
asthma.
People and businesses are urged to avoid activities which lead to
ozone formation. These activities include, refueling vehicles or
topping off when refueling, using gasoline powered lawn equipment,
and using charcoal lighter fluid.
Positive activities include, driving less, telecommuting, walking or
biking, delaying or combining errands and using water-based paints.
