An Air Quality Advisory has been issued for the Nez Perce Reservation. Wildfire smoke may move in and out of the area depending on fire and wind activity; some areas may be more impacted than others. No EPA/Nez Perce Tribal burn permits will be approved. The action remains in effect until at least tomorrow (Fri) at 10:00am.
Air quality is currently in the “Moderate” to “Unhealthy” categories of the Air Quality Index (AQI). To track regional air quality, visit the AirNow Fire and Smoke Map or the Idaho Smoke Blog.
Those who experience greater health effects from smoke include children under 18, the elderly, pregnant women, people with asthma or have difficulty breathing, diabetes, heart problems or otherwise compromised health, and people who have high exposure (those who work, exercise, or spend extensive time outdoors). Under the most severe pollution levels, sensitive groups should avoid outdoor exposure and limit indoor activities, and everyone should restrict their outdoor activities.
