在东南密歇根州,由于积雪释放污染物融化,空气空气质量警告在冬季发出警报,表示空气质量差,星期一下午情况有所改善。 A winter air quality alert warns of poor air in Southeast Michigan due to melting snow releasing pollutants, with conditions improving by Monday afternoon.

在2月16日的星期一下午之前,由于积雪融化释放尘土、道路盐和车辆排泄物等受困污染物,对密歇根东南部大部分地区实施了空气质量咨询。 An air quality advisory is in effect for much of Southeast Michigan until Monday afternoon, February 16, due to melting snow releasing trapped pollutants like dust, road salt, and vehicle exhaust. 轻风和温度倒置正在地面附近捕捉细微粒物质(PM2.5),空气质量恶化,特别是对敏感群体而言。 Light winds and a temperature inversion are trapping fine particulate matter (PM2.5) near the ground, worsening air quality, especially for sensitive groups. 密歇根州环境、大湖和能源部发布了稀有的2月警报,因为由温度变暖所驱动的雪熔通常会释放被困在雪中的污染物。 The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy issued the rare February alert, as the snowmelt—driven by warming temperatures—is releasing pollutants normally locked in snow. 预计周一下午,随着风量增加和倒流中断,条件将得到改善。 Conditions are expected to improve by Monday afternoon as winds increase and the inversion breaks.
