On days like Wednesday – when the air quality is physically unbearable – it’s important to protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of air pollutants and particles.
That’s but one of the points that Pulmonologist Dr. Brian Reichardt of HSHS Medical Group noted during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
Dr. Reichardt mentioned that, over the last several days, the number of particles per cubic meter in the air was about seven times what experts say is reasonable to endure, and that work and other activities should be rescheduled or done with masked protection where and when possible.
WMAY will have more on these conditions as situations continue to evolve around Central Illinois.
