have stuck with us, as do looming questions.
The worst air quality in the world Wednesday was spawned by a perfect storm -- Canadian wildfires burning hotter and faster than in recent years and persistent winds driving the smoke south. CBS2 checked in with Chris Stockdale with the Canadian Forest Service for an update.Calmer winds cause a slower burn, but Stockdale says the fires are far from out.
But now,"We're in the intensity range where some aerial attack is possible, so that water drops and retardant drops are having some effect," Stockdale said."We had no way to avoid the smoke from those fires, though. And some wonder if breathing the polluted air could have lasting health effects," Stockdale said.
"People who are feeling fine, they're healthy. They should not worry about the long-term effects," Laumbach said."Within days, you know, after the exposure, people's asthma should be back to normal. Their COPD Should be recovering.""I know that my colleagues are going to be looking at the impacts of this episode in the New York City area and trying to learn more about what the effects are," Laumbach said.
