MPCA Issues Air Pollution Advisory For Parts Of MN

ST. PAUL (AP) ― The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air pollution health advisory for the southern two-thirds of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities metro area.

The MPCA says fine particles are near an unhealthy level for sensitive groups in the Rochester area. Levels are lower but approaching unhealthy for sensitive groups in the rest of the southern half of the state, including the Twin Cities.

Sensitive groups include people with heart or lung disease, children and athletes.

The advisory is in effect through Monday. The MPCA says air quality is expected to improve as weather conditions bring winds early next week.
