Smoke & Heat Threaten Maryland Air | Baltimore News

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is choking Maryland’s air, triggering a dangerous “code orange” alert today — and it could turn red by tomorrow. With ground-level ozone already high from the heat, the mix is creating hazy, unhealthy conditions that hit kids, seniors, and those with asthma or heart/lung issues hardest. Officials warn the smoke will sink to ground level and worsen through Friday. Stay indoors, crank up your AC, and use HEPA filters. If you have respiratory issues, have a plan ready — symptoms like coughing, dizziness, or fatigue could flare up. Even if temps cool this weekend, poor air quality may linger, so limit outdoor time while the heat wave holds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
