I got a hoot out of this article. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency issued an air quality warning because of lingering smoke from fireworks this past 4th of July weekend.
The MPCA should check out the pollution from recreational fires in this city. I am planning to contact them this week and see if it would be possible to get the air quality measured.
The city of North St. Paul should send that warning out to everyone in the next city newsletter. If pollution from fireworks warrants an air quality warning, the air in this city would be off the charts.
It is 1 AM as I write this and the air outside reeks of wood smoke. The wood smoke is so heavy you can't even breathe the air! But this is the way the city council wants us to live.
