Ohio Air Quality Alert Due to Wildfire Smoke | Toledo News

Ohio’s air is dangerously hazy thanks to Canadian wildfire smoke drifting south—state officials have issued a statewide health advisory urging kids, seniors, and those with breathing issues to stay indoors, as heat and smoke are pushing ozone levels to hazardous levels. Central Ohio has already been under alerts for days, with officials warning that even short outdoor exposure can trigger throat irritation, heart, and lung problems. With heat expected to linger, another alert may come Friday. To help, officials recommend carpooling, using public transit, and avoiding gas-powered lawn mowers. Stay safe: close windows, run air conditioners on recirculate, and use air purifiers to protect your indoor air. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
