Wildfires in Nova Scotia cause air quality alerts and burn ban violations.

Air quality alerts have been issued across Delaware due to smoke from wildfires in New Jersey and Nova Scotia, Canada. The air quality ranges from moderate to unhealthy, with the most southern county in Delaware having an "unhealthy" amount of smoke particles in the air. The elderly and people with respiratory issues are advised to limit outdoor activities until the smoke passes. The largest fire in Nova Scotia grew to over 44,000 acres, displacing thousands and closing schools in the area. Health effects of low air quality include headaches, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and irritated eyes and sinuses.
