US EditionToronto’s Air Quality to Be Impacted by Wildfire Smoke Today, Environment Canada Warns
- Environment Canada has alerted Toronto and much of southern Ontario about deteriorating air quality due to wildfire smoke expected to affect the region today and into Friday morning.
- The statement comes after wildfires in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta generated smoke that moved southward, leading to degraded air conditions and lowered visibility in Ontario.
- Authorities warned that exposure to smoke may lead to gentle discomforts such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, or a slight cough, with seniors, young children, pregnant individuals, and those with health conditions being especially vulnerable.
- Toronto’s air quality index reached 7 out of 10 on Friday morning, classified as high risk, and residents are advised to limit outdoor activities and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.
- The smoke may persist for several days, suggesting continued health precautions while weather forecasts predict mixed sun, cloud, and cooler temperatures into the weekend.
