Indiana Department of Environmental Management declared an Air Quality Action Day in effect through Friday for northwest, northcentral and southeast portions of the state.

Officials in Southern California issued a windblown dust advisory for the Coachella Valley area on Thursday afternoon .

The National Weather Service urged residents to 'conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air conditioner to 75 degrees or above' Experts told DailyMail.com that the requests were 'outrageous', 'unscientific' and 'overboard' Government data shows at least 25 states have similar air pollution levels.

The alert followed days of poor air quality in the region due to the Bridge and Line Fires burning in the northeast of Los Angeles .

A smoke advisory was issued earlier in the week , which is set to remain until at least 11 pm PT on Friday .

'It's a band-aid for a machete cut, and Indiana could help people reduce pollution through incentives to carpool or use public transit, and improve those systems, too,' said Engelmayer .
