The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air quality alert [ [link removed] ]for parts of northern and central Minnesota beginning Wednesday, May 17, at 10 p.m. through Thursday, May 18, at noon due to drifting smoke from Canadian wildfires.

Counties include Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Big Stone, Cass, Clay, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Douglas, Grant, Hubbard, Itasca, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Morrison, Norman, Otter Tail, Pennington, Polk, Pope, Red Lake, Roseau, St. Louis County, Stevens, Todd, Traverse, Wadena, and Wilkin.

To reduce additional air pollutants, open burning is not allowed, and campfires are discouraged. Additional counties may have burning restrictions in place due to high fire danger levels. For up-to-date information on fire danger and burning restrictions visit www.mndnr.gov/burnrestrictions. [ [link removed] ]

Poor air quality impacts health and sensitive groups or those with prolonged exposure experience health effects sooner than others. For more information on the air quality alert, sensitive groups, and health effects visit the MPCA current air quality webpage. [ [link removed] ]
