North America Faces High-Risk Air Quality Warnings as Wildfire Smoke Spreads

High-risk air quality warnings have been issued across North America as wildfires in Canada continue to generate smoke that blankets major cities, including Toronto and surrounding areas. The smoke has reached as far as New York City and Connecticut, resulting in unhealthy air quality in those areas.

Quebec, where 160 fires are burning, is a major source of the smoke impacting air quality. Public health officials are advising people to minimize exposure to the smoke and take precautions, as the air poses immediate and long-term health risks.
