KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Smoke from wildfires in Canada reduced air quality in Kansas City on Wednesday, June 4.

The Mid-America Regional Council rated the quality level orange, which means the air is unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Kansas Citians are advised to limit their time outdoors, especially those with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teens, per MARC.
