Philly Under Smoke Alert | Philadelphia News

Smoke from Canadian and Minnesota wildfires is blanketing Philly, triggering unhealthy air quality and a Code Purple alert. Hazy skies linger through Friday morning, especially as cooler nights trap the pollution near the ground. Public health officials urge vulnerable groups — including those with heart or lung conditions, seniors, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals — to seek medical help if experiencing breathing trouble, dizziness, or nausea. Everyone should limit outdoor activity, wear N95/KN95 masks if outside, and keep windows shut indoors while avoiding smoke-producing activities like cooking with oil or burning candles. Winds shifting later this week may gradually clear the air, but stay updated via airnow.gov. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
