Canadian Wildfires Cause Hazy Skies and Air Quality Alerts Across U.S.

Wildfires in Quebec, Canada have caused smoke and haze to cover Western New York, leading to dangerous air conditions and an air quality alert. The smoke has traveled less than 500 miles and is causing particulate matter to reach the surface, surpassing safe levels. The haze is expected to persist throughout the week, and experts advise staying indoors and avoiding overexertion outside.
