KMBC: Kansas City Air Quality Alerts Not Related to Smoke From Canadian Wildfires

For three days in a row, Kansas City was under air quality alerts as ozone levels rose around the metro. But Kansas City’s air quality is not related to the Canadian smoke.

Locally, the ozone from cars, lawnmowers, chemicals, and the like is hanging in the air with the heat and lack of a breeze.

KMBC talked to Dr. Todd Fristo with Saint Luke's Primary Care—Independence about who may be more impacted by the poor air quality and what to do.
