Description

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has declared an Air Quality Advisory for June 11, 2025, for elevated levels of ozone in southwestern counties of Michigan. Pollutants within those areas are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG, Orange AQI) range. The Air Quality Advisory is in effect for the following west Michigan counties: Allegan, Kent, Muskegon, Ottawa, and Van Buren Surface temperatures well into the 80s, ample sunlight, and west-southwest winds will create a conducive environment for Ozone development along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Residual wildfire smoke in the region may also enhance Ozone development over Lake Michigan. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with respiratory diseases such as asthma. People and businesses are urged to avoid activities which can lead to ozone formation. These activities include: refueling vehicles or topping off when refueling, using gasoline powered lawn equipment, using charcoal lighter fluid. Positive activities include: driving less, telecommuting, walking or bike riding, delaying or combining errands, using water-based paints.
