air quality

This city has the worst air quality in the Nation. A Montana City.

Many counties across Montana are reporting hazardous air quality today. If you're sensitive to smoke, the best bet is to stay indoors with your windows closed.

We've become used to the fire season Air Quality Alerts during the summer across Montana. The terrible wildfires of the last few seasons have made them a common occurrence. However, parts of Montana are susceptible to Air Stagnation Alerts during the WINTER, stemming mostly from wood-burning stove usage.

A couple of air quality monitoring stations around Billings had readings in the "unhealthy" range on Monday (7/26), and with a high concentration of pollutants expected to continue from western wildfires, being outdoors will make it hazardous for some groups this week.

So so sad that our state is under this. I know my allergies are off the charts. I've sounded like a crazy person on air lately. And I know I've said this so many times in the last few weeks but continue to keep the impacted communities and our firefighters in your thoughts and prayers! ...
