When the weather changes, air quality changes as well. Spring weather in the Kentuckiana area can bring challenges to our local air quality.

Warmer weather and longer days with more sunshine can allow pollutants to build up in our area. It's a good idea to check local forecasts for air quality before you go outdoors and engage in strenuous activities.

It's easy to check the Air Quality Index (AQI) and make smart decisions to protect your health. If an Air Quality Alert is called, for Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups or above, take precautions such as moving your exercise indoors or scheduling activities for when the air quality improves.
