Multiple American states, and the nation’s capital, have issued alerts due to poor air quality as a consequence of Canada’s raging wildfires—with some states warning “sensitive populations” to avoid outdoor activity.

On June 28, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued an air quality advisory for all counties in the eastern half of the state through Friday, warning that “elevated levels of fine particulates may be a concern over the next several days.” In New York, air quality advisories are in effect on Friday for multiple regions, with the air quality deemed to be “unhealthy for sensitive groups” in some places while other areas are classified as “unhealthy.”
