## extract

Air Quality Alert — Benton
Severity: Unknown. Certainty: Unknown.
The officials at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
have declared an Air Quality Action Day for Sunday and Monday.

An Air Quality Action Day for smoke has been issued. Smoke levels
are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range.
Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease,
such as asthma should limit prolonged outdoor exposure.

Due to observed and forecasted high concentrations of PM2.5 readings
in the area, recommendations are for the public to avoid or limit
outdoor exposure to wildfire smoke, reduce or avoid exertion or heavy
work outdoors and keep windows and doors closed as much as possible.
