The Wisconsin DNR says forecasts call for the air quality index to drop to the Unhealthy For Sensitive Groups to Unhealthy levels.

Air quality could drop to the unhealthy to very unhealthy range.

Canadian wildfires are expected to drop air quality across the region Friday.

Holloway will be talking about how science supports air quality management and how wildfire smoke is changing that at May’s Science on Tap Minocqua.

Dozens of wildfires burning hundreds of thousands of acres are currently burning out west in both the U.S. and Canada.The last few summers brought smoke from fires just like them to the Northwoods, dropping air quality to some of the worst levels seen in the region in years.
