## Resource

Pennsylvania’s air is in crisis — hit with a statewide Code Purple alert due to smoke from Canadian and Minnesota wildfires. Conditions are “very unhealthy” for everyone, especially kids, seniors, and those with breathing issues — stay indoors and avoid outdoor activity. Even if you feel fine, ease up on strenuous outdoor exercise. Code Purple is the highest warning below hazardous (Code Maroon), so monitor airnow.gov for real-time updates and protect your health.
