Air quality alert issued for Kentucky; Canadian wildfires blamed

and potentially dangerous. According to the state Energy and Environment Cabinet, which released an air quality alert lasting through midnight Wednesday, people need to be on alert, outdoors, anyway – thanks in large part, to the continuing smoke from Canadian wildfires.

The cabinet suggests those people avoid strenuous outdoor activities – or move them inside.
