Episode Details

Smoke from Canadian wildfires is blanketing the U.S. East and Midwest, turning skies hazy and triggering dangerous air quality alerts. Driven by powerful updrafts and the jet stream, these smoke plumes travel thousands of miles, with stagnant weather trapping them near the ground. Tiny PM2.5 particles can infiltrate lungs and blood, worsening asthma, heart disease, and causing irritation. Climate change is fueling more intense, frequent wildfires — making smoky summers increasingly likely. Protect yourself: check air quality, limit outdoor time, close windows, and wear an N95 mask if you must go outside.
