Smoke from the Canadian wildfires continues to spread through Howard County. Where smoke is the thickest and reaching the surface, you may notice a haze and a burning or campfire smell at times. The Maryland Department of the Environment has issued a Code RED Air Quality Alert Friday for our region. A Code Red Air Quality Alert means that air pollution concentrations within the region are unhealthy for the general population. The effects of air pollution can be minimized by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.
