Canadian Wildfire Smoke Threatens Air Quality in Northeastern US

New York and other parts of the East Coast may experience a second wave of thick orange smoke on Thursday due to hundreds of out-of-control wildfires in Canada. However, the smog won't be as bad as last week's apocalyptic scenes. The air quality will worsen a little bit, but it won't reach hazardous levels. The smoke haze could persist through Friday, and precautions may be necessary for at-risk health groups. The wildfires in Canada have created major air quality concerns, with over half of the fires considered out of control.
