A visual guide to the Canada wildfires and US smoke pollution

Ottawa’s skies are a smoky orange on Tuesday 6 June. What is causing this? Forest fires are not new for Canada but, much like in other places such as California, scientists have found fire seasons are getting longer and more intense due to the climate crisis. Extra heat and altered rainfall patterns are causing a long-term change in fire behavior. What has been the impact of all this smoke? Unhealthy air warnings at one point covered 110 million Americans, not just in New York but also cities including Philadelphia, Washington DC and Boston. Footage from space taken on 7 June shows Canada wildfires smoke reaching Pennsylvania. Health experts said they expected an uptick in hospitalizations due to respiratory and cardiovascular problems triggered by the foul air, which in New York was the worst of any major city in the world. Levels of PM2.5, tiny particles of soot, dust and other burned debris found in smoke, were five times above “safe” national air quality guidelines, posing significant dangers for the lungs of people with health complications, pregnant women, children, the elderly and other vulnerable groups. What happens now? The crisis has somewhat abated for New York and Philadelphia on Friday, with blue skies starting to peep out from behind the haze, although the smoke’s southward path caused Washington to issue an alert, its first ever, over hazardous air quality conditions. And the fires are still burning, with US environmental agencies providing smoke forecasts ...
