The smoke from Canadian wildfires has left millions of people in the U.S. and Canada under air-quality alerts.
The smoke from Canadian wildfires that blanketed Northeastern U.S. cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., earlier this month also covered Chicago and parts of the Midwest this week, sending air quality plummeting.
The smoky haze has prompted air-quality alerts in a number of states, highlighting the scale of the wildfire challenge facing North America. The Wall Street Journal reports that, since the start of this year’s fire season, more than 2,900 fires have burned more than 19.2 million acres in Canada. The Canadian wildfire season typically lasts from May to September.
