More acrid smoke from the Canadian wildfires arrived in New York City on Thursday, prompting a new round of air quality alerts particularly for those most vulnerable to the particulate-filled haze.
Regardless of the severity, Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams advised New Yorkers to take precautions against the smoke in the air. The smoke could be harmful for children, seniors and those with heart or lung conditions; people in these vulnerable groups are advised to limit their outdoor activity and wear N95 masks while out in the open.
“You’re going to start feeling the effects of what we’re talking about right now, if not already,” Hochul said. “And again, much of this weather is going to be lingering across the state all the way through tomorrow. So, we’ll be expecting to have another air quality alert tomorrow.” These satellite images from June 6, from top left, June 7, June 25, and June 27, 2023, show the wind movement from wildfire smoke in Quebec, Canada. Heavy smoke from wildfires in Canada has blanketed parts of the Midwest, causing hazardous air for residents, just weeks after drifting smoke did the same thing along parts of the East Coast. via AP)
