Pollution And Extreme Heat In Ohio
Heavy haze and humidity are visible as pollution and steam rise from the stacks of the Miami Fort Power Station, situated along the Ohio River in North Bend, Ohio, on July 5, 2026. The Midwest is currently under an extreme heat warning, with dangerously high temperatures expected to increase on Wednesday. Combined with humidity, this could result in heat indices of 100 to 115 degrees from the Midwest to the East Coast. (Photo by Jason Whitman/NurPhoto)
