(Indianapolis, IN) - The Air Quality Alert has been extended through Wednesday.
It’s not just for this area. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has extended the alert across the state, as dust continues to move south from Canadian wildfires.
IDEM predicts another day of unhealthy air quality.
Fine particles include microscopic dust, soot, and liquid that settles deep into the lungs and cannot be easily exhaled. People should limit exposure to such air, especially those with respiratory problems.
