The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has declared a Code Red Air Quality Action Day throughout the entire commonwealth for fine particulate matter. State officials are urging residents to limit outdoor activities, particularly among vulnerable populations. The FAA is now slowing traffic from the East Coast and Midwest bound for Philadelphia International Airport due to reduced visibility from wildfire smoke. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends keeping your windows closed and your pets indoors as much as possible. Outdoor activities are canceled at all Philadelphia public schools today as smoke from wildfires in Canada hovers over the city.
