Watch the video: Canadian fires make Washington DC hot again
Thick haze was again clearly visible in the US capital, Washington DC. The background is that for the second time this month, smoke from the ongoing forest fires in Canada has blown into the United States. A tourist doesn’t want to miss out on the trip and is trying to protect her health: “Because the air quality is very bad today and I don’t want these particles to get deep into my lungs and affect my health in the future, so I’m wearing the mask today. ” Air quality warnings in Washington on Thursday were in the red, meaning “unhealthy,” according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The wildfires in Canada, which are responsible for poor air quality, have been going on for weeks. Authorities say this is the worst start to the wildfire season on record.
