Dunn County Health Department warns of poor air quality and heat

Air Quality Advisory for Dunn County, Wisconsin - July 25, 2023

This week, the air quality in Dunn County is expected to be unsafe in our communities due to
continued smoke from Canadian wildfires, hot temperatures and high humidity.

From June 24th to 30th, we expect high humidity and temperatures around 90 degrees for several days.
This combination will likely lead to air quality above moderate levels. This can cause health risks for
those spending time outside.

? If the air quality reaches unhealthy levels (red), please be cautious about being outdoors.
? If you have asthma, heart disease, or other lung conditions,
try to limit your time outside if the air quality reaches
unhealthy for sensitive groups (orange) or above.
? Seek medical attention if you experience chest pain,
coughing, shortness of breath, trouble breathing, or
wheezing.
