As thick smog continues to envelop New York City from wildfires raging in Canada, residents are being warned to be careful if venturing outdoors as an air quality health advisory has been issued today.
The air quality index is sitting at 223 AQI, which places it into the second highest category of 'very unhealthy'.
At this level, the risk of health effects is increased for everyone, not just those who are vulnerable or have underlying health conditions.
