Wildfire Smoke Alert in Central Ohio | Columbus News

Air quality alert hit central Ohio—Columbus and counties like Franklin, Delaware, Licking, and Fairfield—between 6 AM and 9 AM on July 14th, fueled by wildfire smoke. Pollutants made outdoor air unhealthy for sensitive groups, triggering symptoms like scratchy throats or watery eyes, and potentially worsening lung and heart conditions for kids, seniors, pregnant folks, or those with breathing issues. AQI over 101 means stay inside, seal windows, wear an N95 if you must go out, run AC on recirculate with a good filter, and avoid dust-triggering activities like vacuuming or candles. Short-lived, but a wake-up call to monitor air quality when smoke drifts in. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
