The occurrence of dense wildfire smoke during the summer months has become more common in recent years. This is evident, particularly with the current situation originating from Canada.
Thick plumes of hazardous smoke are crossing the border into the United States. This smoke transforms the sky, casting a milky-white or sometimes even orange hue over regions affected by it.
The issues stem from rampant wildfires in the Canadian West. These uncontrolled fires send harmful smoke traveling significant distances, impacting air quality in neighboring areas.
