The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has issued an Air Quality Action Day, anticipating high levels of ozone today. Counties affected by this declaration include Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Greene, Knox, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, and Warrick. The declaration is a response to the projected surface temperatures of 85–90 degrees and relative humidity below 40%. Dry air and smoke from Canadian wildfires are expected to move into the region. Individuals who are sensitive to changes in air quality may experience impacts when ozone levels are elevated. It is advised that children, the elderly, and individuals with heart or lung conditions reduce or avoid outdoor exertion and heavy work.
