Air Quality Index

St. Clair, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Wayne, Lenawee and Monroe counties are under an air quality advisory until midnight Saturday.

According to AirNow, as of 1 p.m. the AQI index is 164 which means the air is unhealthy. A โ€œgoodโ€ AQI index is 0-50 and โ€œmoderateโ€ is 50-100.

AirNow explains that anyone in an unhealthy zone should limit time outdoors until air quality is better especially for sensitive groups like people with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens.
