Canada's Wildfire Smoke Causes Air Pollution Crisis in Northeastern US Cities.
TL;DR Summary
New York City's air quality index peaked above 150 on Tuesday, making it the world's worst air pollution city due to smoke from over 150 wildfires burning in Quebec. The smoke has periodically engulfed the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic for more than a week, raising concerns over the harms of persistent poor air quality. Millions of people die each year from air pollution-related health issues, and the concentration of PM2.5 in New York City's air was more than 10 times the guideline set by the World Health Organization.
