Wildfire smoke that traveled from the Pacific Northwest has reached parts of the Midwest this week, degrading air quality in northeast Kansas. KSNT 27 News reports that the smoke is coming from the West Coast.
On July 21, AirNow rated Topeka’s air quality at 67, which AirNow classifies as moderate. The same AirNow update included guidance for what people can do when air quality is in this range, but the specific recommendations aren’t included in the available article text.
