Impact of Canadian Wildfires on U.S. Air Quality and Health

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports from New York City that massive Canadian wildfires in 2023 have sent smoke and pollution deep into the U.S., affecting cities like New York, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, and Chicago. The fires, driven by drought and winds, have caused health crises, including asthma attacks and hospitalizations. Another wildfire in Manitoba has forced evacuations, with smoke continuing to spread southward.
