The poor air quality affecting much of Illinois yesterday is continuing today as smoke from Canadian wildfires remains over the region. Children, older adults, pregnant women, and individuals with heart or lung conditions are especially encouraged to limit prolonged outdoor activity while air quality remains at unhealthy levels. Before spending time outside, check your local Air Quality Index (AQI) and follow any guidance issued by state and local health officials.
