SW Detroit Air Quality Warning
|
|
The MDEQ has issued a warning of 'Unhealthy' Air Quality in the area of Detroit and Dearborn. Children, older adults, and people with heart and lung disease should avoid prolonged exertion. Everyone else should reduce prolonged exertion.
"Officials at the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's district office say the high reading Wednesday came from three monitors: at Salinas Elementary School at Wyoming Road and Dix in Dearborn, at the New Mt. Herman Church in Southwest Detroit and at West Lafayette in Detroit.
People with heart or lung disease, older adults and children in that area should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion until the air is clear. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.
It's unclear how long the problem is likely to last."
Residents across Michigan and the U.S. can monitor local air quality readings by entering their zip code at AirNow.gov.
