The ongoing fires in the region of Quebec, Canada, were felt 800 kilometers away in New York City. In effect, the sky has turned orange, or yellowoffering an apocalyptic image of the Big Apple.
On Tuesday June 6, New York even briefly became the most polluted city in the world, before falling behind the Indian city of New Delhi. The American city was strongly impacted by these fumes, which extend from Illinois, in the north, to South Carolina. The cloud of smoke in particular causes concern for the health of fragile people, such as children, the elderly, or those with heart or respiratory problems.
In the country’s capital, Washington, the situation is even worse than the day before, the air quality alert having changed from “red” to “purple”. This level of pollution is described as “very harmful to health”.
