Air quality alert issued for Naperville area today
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has issued an air quality alert for Naperville and the surrounding areas in effect now through midnight Thursday, declaring today an “Air Pollution Action Day.”
This distinction is put into place when ozone or particulate levels cross the threshold into the “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” category of the Air Quality Index for multiple days.
The air issues are a result of Canadian wildfire smoke being blown into this area. Experts say those with pulmonary or respiratory disease, as well as children, should limit their time outside.
