With over 200 active fires burning across Canada in early June 2025, wildfire smoke has drifted into Ohio, affecting visibility, air quality, and health.

Why Is the Air Quality in Ohio So Bad Right Now?
Wildfire smoke contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5)—microscopic pollutants that can travel deep into the lungs and bloodstream. These particles can worsen respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, even for healthy individuals.
As of June 4, 2025, forecasted air quality levels vary across Southern and Central Ohio due to the influence of Canadian wildfire smoke. Here’s an updated overview:
- Cincinnati: The Air Quality Index (AQI) is forecasted at 90**, categorized as Moderate. Air quality is acceptable; however, a moderate health concern may exist for a small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
- Dayton: The AQI is forecasted at 84**, which falls into the Moderate category.
- Columbus: The AQI is forecasted as 100**, placing it in the Moderate category.
**It’s important to note that air quality levels may change from the time of posting this article — we advise you to monitor your local air quality reports and take necessary precautions. Forecasted daily air quality levels may also vary from current levels.

Health Risks From Wildfire Smoke
Inhaling wildfire smoke can trigger:
- Asthma and allergy flare-ups
- Chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath
- Increased risk of heart attack and stroke in sensitive groups
Vulnerable populations include children, the elderly, and individuals with heart or lung conditions.
Why Indoor Air Quality Matters More Than Ever
With outdoor air compromised, your home should serve as a safe retreat. Unfortunately, smoke and pollutants don’t stay outside—they find their way in. Focusing on indoor air quality (IAQ) ensures you’re not breathing in the same contaminants inside your home that you’re trying to escape outdoors.
- PM2.5 particles can linger indoors for hours or days without proper filtration.
- Closed windows and doors don’t block all pollutants. Air leaks and standard HVAC filters often aren’t enough.
- Staying indoors won’t protect you unless your air is being actively cleaned.
Investing in IAQ upgrades is essential for maintaining a healthy living environment when wildfire smoke compromises the air outside.
