Hazy sky at Buffalo River State Park near Glyndon, Minnesota.

Manager of the Ambient Air Monitoring Program Ryan Mills explains how the recent wildfires have brought unprecedented amounts of smoke to our North Dakota skies, and what other factors are at play in the air we breathe.

From the 1970's, when North Dakota had some of the worst air quality ratings in the country, to today when we enjoy some of the best, cleanest air nationally... Ryan talks about the smoky haze that has no doubt caught the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality.
