Residents across the Midwest and Great Lakes region faced ongoing environmental challenges this week. On Monday, hazy skies remained visible over a wide area due to lingering wildfire smoke. Air

quality alerts stayed in effect to warn the public about potentially unhealthy conditions. The smoke has continued to impact visibility and breathing conditions in several affected states. Authorities
