Map: Track poor air quality across the US from Canada wildfires<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDoug, Antoinette, good morning. It definitely can as we look right now from Memorial Drive over to Boston. The skies look mostly clear. I just see *** little cloud over there behind some of the buildings, *** big improvement from yesterday when we were out here. The sky kind of had that yellowish orange tint to it. It’s all due to the wildfires that are burning in Canada and Minnesota, and then that smoke is drifting down. Into New England once again, as Kellyanne mentioned, an air quality alert is in effect across Massachusetts. These are just some of the views from Lynn Boston and Arlington yesterday. The smoke was not just visible, people could feel it, especially those with asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions. But doctors say everyone should be aware. It was smoky. Immediately noticeable, um, definitely *** day to want to wear *** mask. We know that air pollution in general can really trigger *** number of health issues including um simple things that we think about like asthma or COPD, but they can actually also trigger cardiovascular events and the smoke from wildfires are no exception. Yeah. With more wildfire smoke expected today, doctors say people with asthma, COPD, heart conditions, and those who are pregnant should take extra precautions. Their advice Limit time outdoors, keep windows closed when possible, and wear an N95 mask if you need. To be outside, that’s the type of mask that will actually filter out these particles. Anyone experiencing shortness of breath or any worsening symptoms are advised to seek medical attention immediately. For now we’re live in Cambridge.
