What did the Becker recycling plant fire do to air quality?

A pile of junked cars at the metal recycling plant in the central Minnesota city burned for most of last week as more than 100 fire departments helped fight the fire. As of Saturday, it was finally out. But, for the people of Becker and towns downwind from the blaze, questions of air and water safety remain. MPR News reporter Kirsti Marohn, who has been covering the story from the beginning, will join Angela in the studio to talk about the incident and what’s next.
