Ohio Smog Crisis from Northern Wildfires | Columbus News

Central Ohio’s air is dangerously hazy thanks to smoke from raging wildfires in Minnesota and Ontario — so bad that public pools in Gahanna, Bexley, Plain City, and Delaware are shut down. The air quality index is forecast to hit 179, equivalent to smoking seven cigarettes, and officials warn this unhealthy haze could linger through Friday as winds trap smoke near the ground. Stay indoors and monitor alerts — your lungs will thank you. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
