Chicago Air Quality Alert Due to Wildfire Smoke

Chicago Issues Air Quality Alert as Wildfire Smoke Drifts from Canada

Chicago, IL – June 10, 2024 – Chicago residents awoke to hazy skies and a faint smell of smoke on Monday as another wave of wildfire smoke from Canada drifted into the Midwest, prompting an Air Quality Alert across the city and surrounding areas.

The National Weather Service (NWS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have classified Chicago's air quality as 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups,' with Air Quality Index (AQI) levels reaching 150 in some neighborhoods. Officials are urging children, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD to limit outdoor activities.

'This is the third major air quality event we've experienced this summer due to Canadian wildfires,' said Angela Tin, a spokesperson for the American Lung Association. 'The fine particulate matter in the air can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing short-term irritation and long-term health risks.'

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) has advised residents to:

Keep windows closed and use air purifiers if available.

Avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially in the afternoon when ozone levels peak.

Wear N95 masks if going outside for extended periods.

Local schools have moved recess indoors, and several summer events, including a planned street festival in Logan Square, have been postponed. The haze has also reduced visibility, leading to minor delays at O’Hare and Midway airports.

Meteorologists predict the smoke will linger for at least another 48 hours before winds shift and bring clearer air. Meanwhile, officials are monitoring conditions closely, with the possibility of upgrading the alert to 'Unhealthy' for all residents if conditions worsen.

For real-time updates, residents are encouraged to check the AirNow.gov website or follow CDPH alerts.

Stay tuned to local news for further developments.
