As expected along with this heat warning, Environment Canada has now issued an air quality warning as well. This is in effect for all of South Western Ontario including Chatham-Kent.
The hot and sunny conditions can lead to an elevated level of air pollution. Individuals could experience symptoms such as increased coughing, shortness of breath, and throat irritation.
Seniors, children and people with existing breathing problems are at the greatest risk.
If your condition worsens seek medical treatment. You can visit airhealth.ca for more information.
