US EditionWildfire Smoke Impacting Parts of Ontario, Including Waterloo Region
- Environment Canada reported that wildfire smoke is affecting parts of Ontario, including Waterloo Region, with conditions expected to improve overnight into Friday.
- Smoke from over a dozen active wildfires in northern Ontario and other parts of Canada is causing hazy conditions and making the air less healthy to breathe across midwestern Ontario.
- Officials cautioned that exposure to smoke may lead to common issues like irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, or a light cough, while more severe signs such as wheezing or chest discomfort should prompt immediate medical evaluation.
- As of Friday morning, Waterloo Region's air quality risk was moderate at 4 out of 10, while evening levels reached 10, indicating high health risks, leading to advisories to reduce or reschedule outdoor activities.
- The situation suggests that wildfire smoke may persist intermittently throughout the summer, and residents are urged to use respirator masks, keep indoor air clean, and monitor vulnerable populations closely.
