Smoke from Canada Threatens Air Quality | Annapolis News

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is blanketing the U.S. Midwest and East Coast, triggering hazardous air quality alerts across 17 states—with Michigan hit hardest at an alarming AQI of 412. Tiny PM2.5 particles are infiltrating lungs and bloodstreams, putting kids, seniors, pregnant women, and those with asthma or heart conditions at greatest risk. Skies look hazy, yellow, or orange, with stunning—but eerie—sunrises and sunsets. While some smoke is lingering higher this time, officials warn the haze could persist through Friday and longer in New England until winds shift. Stay indoors if you’re sensitive, check the Air Quality Index before stepping outside, and brace for more smoke as long as fires rage north.
