Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Canadian Wildfire Smoke Triggers Unhealthy Air in Chicago” – below is their description.
Drifting smoke from the ongoing wildfires across Canada is creating curtains of haze and raising air quality concerns throughout the Great Lakes region, and in parts of the central and eastern United States.
Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy on Tuesday issued an Air Quality Alert for the entire state.
In Chicago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency categorized the air as “unhealthy” and urged young people, older adults and residents with health issues to consider more time indoors.
A National Weather Service meteorologist says fires in northern Quebec and low pressure over the eastern Great Lakes are sending smoke to Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Priti Marwah, who was beginning a run along the city’s lakefront, describes the haze in Chicago Tuesday as “bad.”
“Like, you can smell it bad,” she said. “I run a hundred miles a week, so this is going to be dangerous today.”
