Air quality notices issued for provinces across Canada over Prairie wildfire smoke
Social Sharing Wildfire smoke from the Prairies prompted special air quality statements and warnings across the country Saturday. Smoke from forest fires is causing reduced visibility and poor air quality that is expected to persist into Sunday for some areas, according to Environment Canada. The statements span across the country from eastern British Columbia and into western Quebec, varying in severity. Parts of the Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario are under air quality warnings, where Environment Canada says "extremely high" levels of air pollution are present. Meanwhile, some areas in British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec are under air quality statements, where poor air quality is expected but at a lower health risk. Air quality warnings require the air quality health index rating to be at 10 or higher for at least six consecutive hours, said Serge Besner, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. Meanwhile, special air quality statements are issued when poor air quality index ratings are around a seven, but less than 10. Areas with the poorest air quality were largely contained to the northern parts of Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Besner said, especially in places near Flin Flon, Man., and La Ronge, Sask. The Northwest Territories also saw some of the worst air quality on Saturday, with Fort Simpson forecast to have an air-quality health index rating above 10. Winnipeg was the only major Canadian Prairie city under a special air quality statement for smoke on Saturday, although an online smoke forecast from the Alberta government anticipated air quality health index levels of higher than 10 on Sunday in the province's northwest, including Fort McMurray. While the poor air quality statements are expected to continue into Sunday, Besner said he doesn't think the air quality will worsen more than what was observed on Saturday. "Most of the smoke is in the higher levels of the atmosphere and because we have a high pressure system, that smoke is essentially pushed down to the surface," Besner said, adding that the air quality might only get worse if the smoke is pushed down more quickly than what they are expecting. Reduced air quality can cause mild eye, nose and throat irritation while more serious but less common symptoms include chest pains and a severe cough, according to the weather agency. People most at risk from wildfire smoke include infants, children, pregnant people, those above the age of 65 and anyone with an illness or chronic health conditions. Environment Canada recommends limiting time outdoors and rescheduling any outdoor activities or sports. In Ottawa, a special air quality statement loomed. Although the air quality index hovered around the "low risk" category, Environment Canada predicted it could reach a seven some time during the day. The Ontario government forecast the poorest air quality conditions in North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury, where expected air quality health index levels were at seven or "high risk" on Saturday. While the Greater Toronto Area was mostly spared from special air quality statements Saturday morning, Environment Canada included the area in its number of statements in the early afternoon. The Ontario government expected the region could see air quality indexes of around a five or "moderate risk" on Sunday. Severe weather statements and air quality warnings skipped over Montreal, where thousands of concertgoers were expected to attend the outdoor Osheaga music festival for its second day of events Saturday. Outside of air quality statements, heat warnings across the West were major news as the long weekend began. In Edmonton, where thousands were expected to attend outdoor events like the annual Heritage Festival and a CFL game between the hometown Elks and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, daytime high temperatures of 29 to 34 C were forecast. Local officials extended an extreme heat response until Monday.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires brings unhealthy air to large swaths of the Midwest
Smoke from Canadian wildfires hovered over several Midwestern states Saturday, bringing warnings of unhealthy air for at least the third day. Air quality alerts were in effect in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as eastern Nebraska and parts of Indiana and Illinois. Forecasters said the smoky skies would remain for much of the day. People with lung disease, heart disease, children, older adults and pregnant women are most susceptible to the poor breathing conditions. Canadian environmental officials said smoke from forest fires that was causing reduced visibility and poor quality would persist into Sunday for some areas.

The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the red or unhealthy category in a large swath of Minnesota and will likely remain through Saturday. AQI is a system used to communicate how much air pollution is in the air. It breaks pollution down into six categories and colors, and advice on what isn't safe to do. They range from 'good' (the color green) to 'hazardous' (maroon). Story continues below advertisement The smoke could start to decline beginning Saturday before spreading as far south as Tennessee and Missouri. The air could remain unhealthy for sensitive groups through Monday, state health officials said. The EPA's Air Quality Index converts all pollutant levels into a single number. The lower the number, the better. Anything below 50 is classified as 'healthy.' Fifty to 100 is 'moderate' while 100-150 is unhealthy for 'sensitive groups.' Anything above 150 is bad for everyone. Parts of Minnesota exceeded that number on Saturday. Health officials advise people with asthma and other lung disease, heart disease, children and older adults to avoid prolonged exposure to smoke and limit strenuous activities. They said to avoid burning things that could make the air pollution worse, and keep windows and doors closed to keep the smoke from getting inside.
