If you're planning to travel to Illinois, be aware that the entire state is currently under an air quality alert due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. The smoke can cause microscopic contaminants known as particulate matter 2.5, which can be harmful to people with chronic respiratory issues. To protect yourself, wear N-95 or KN-95 masks to filter out pollutants, and limit your outdoor activities if you're sensitive to poor air quality. The alert is in effect until Sunday night, so make sure to stay updated on the latest advisories and travel warnings. Have you experienced air quality issues while traveling?
