Smoke Shifts From Toronto to Detroit | Toronto News

Smoke from wildfires in northwestern Ontario has turned the air toxic across North America, with Detroit hitting a staggering AQI of 518 — the worst in the world — while Toronto dropped to second at 400. Minneapolis and Chicago also joined the top five. Though skies are less orange, the smoke’s smell is stronger and lower to the ground, making breathing tough for asthma sufferers. A weather shift expected Friday should clear the air and break the heatwave — but for now, experts urge limiting outdoor time and wearing N95 masks if you must go outside.
