Smoke from Kansas burns and Oklahoma wildfires degrades air quality, prompting health warnings through March 21.
Kansas health officials have issued an air quality health advisory through Saturday, March 21, due to smoke from prescribed burns in the Flint Hills and wildfires in Oklahoma.
Air quality in central and eastern Kansas, including parts of the Kansas City area, is expected to reach moderate to unhealthy levels for sensitive groups, with some areas recording an AQI of 105.
The smoke, carried by southwest winds, contains particulate matter and ozone-forming pollutants that can cause respiratory irritation, coughing, and worsen heart and lung conditions.
KDHE advises limiting outdoor activity, keeping indoor spaces sealed with filtered air, and seeking medical help for severe symptoms.
The burns, part of annual prairie management, aim to control invasive species, improve forage, and reduce wildfire risk.
