Our air in Minnesota is usually healthy to breathe. But like the weather, local air quality conditions can vary from day to day. Hot, sunny days associated with our warming climate can increase harmful ground-level ozone. And breathing smoke from wildfires – which are becoming larger and more frequent in the U.S. and Canada due in part to climate change – can make us sick. Knowing the air quality in our community can help us better plan our daily activities and protect our health. Go to AirNow.gov to check the air where you are and for steps to protect your health.
