Wildfire Smoke Blankets U.S. Air | Huntsville News

Wildfire smoke is blanketing the U.S. from the Great Lakes to the East Coast, triggering unhealthy to hazardous air quality alerts across major cities like Detroit, Chicago, and New York.

Long-term exposure is linked to thousands of annual deaths. Authorities urge residents to stay indoors or wear masks, and real-time air quality updates are available via the EPA and citizen science networks.
