...AIR QUALITY ALERT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

The officials at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
have declared Air Quality Action Days, in effect for Thursday June 5
and Friday June 6.

Air Quality Action Days for PM 2.5 have been issued through Friday,
mainly due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The associated fine
particulate levels are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive
Groups range. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory
disease, such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exposure.

Here are some recommended actions that the public can take:

* Walk, bike, carpool or use public transportation.
* Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one trip.
* Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn
equipment until after 7pm.
* Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds.
* Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.
