Buffalo, NY was shrouded in a thick haze on July 16, as the northeast contended with smoke blowing eastward from wildfires in Canada.
New York City endured worse air quality than Delhi on Thursday, as massive wildfires in Canada pushed hazy skies and dangerous smoke south.
The city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) score reached Level Red on Thursday, according to AirNow, which is defined as unhealthy for everyone, especially sensitive groups, including the elderly, children, outdoor workers, pregnant people and those with medical conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, or respiratory issues such as asthma.
