The high temperatures in Central Illinois is uncomfortable for most people, but there is a group of individuals that should be concerned about the air quality forecast.
It’s “Orange” according to the Federal Air Quality Index which means “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.”
As a result of high temperatures and low wind speeds, air pollution levels are expected to reach that category the rest of the week.
Those with respiratory or pulmonary disorders, as well as active children and adults, should take special precautions, keeping cool and limiting physical activity while pollution levels are high.
