On Wednesday, New York City is under air quality alerts due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. Sensitive populations, such as individuals with asthma and the elderly, are advised to limit outdoor activities. The Department of Environmental Conservation suggests using mass transit to decrease pollution and reducing outdoor burning. Although the temperature is forecasted to reach 80 degrees, the air quality concerns remain a priority. The week will warm up with temperatures expected to reach the mid-80s on Thursday, with rain anticipated starting Friday.
Air quality alerts have been issued in all five boroughs, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., due to smoke from a wildfire.
To reduce the amount of particulate matter in the air, recommendations include using mass transit, turning off unused appliances, and avoiding outdoor burning.
