The agency says people should limit outdoor activity, especially children and adults with respiratory issues.
The advisory concerns particulate matter that is made up of small particles found in dust.
Exposure can increase the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis or other lung disease and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection.
