MONROE - Green and Lafayette counties are two of 33 counties under an air quality watch in effect today because of particle pollution.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says the watch was issued because the forecast calls for elevated levels of fine particles in the air.
The Air Quality Index in those counties is expected to reach orange levels, which means it's unhealthy for children, older adults and those with respiratory conditions.
Officials are advising people in those groups to cut back on strenuous activities.
