Grass Burning In Kansas, Oklahoma Could Affect Health For Nebraska Residents
The annual prairie grass burning season has begun in Kansas and Oklahoma, which could cause health problems for Nebraskans.
The Flint Hills, which stretches from eastern Kansas to north-central Oklahoma, is in a dangerous fire season, according to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. The 82,000 square miles of prairies are vast areas of uncultivated pasture with tall grasses.
Nebraska officials announced that they implemented a public smoke alarm system in 2018 and will reactivate the system this year. Smoking advisories are issued in situations where smoke from prescribed burning and/or wildfires could have a significant impact on air quality in certain areas of Nebraska.
State and local officials are issuing advisories based on data from various sources in the region, including the National Weather Service Data from air quality monitors in Omaha, Bellevue, Lincoln, Beatrice, Grand Island and Scottsbluff will also be evaluated.
Smoking can cause health problems including eye irritation, colds, coughs and bronchitis. People with breathing problems such as asthma or COPD, pre-existing heart or lung disease, children and the elderly may experience more severe symptoms.
