NEW YORK (WABC) -- Smoke from hundreds of wildfires burning in Canada has traveled into the Tri-State area, impacting local schools and events.Health experts have advised residents to limit exposure outside due to Air Quality Alert in effect. People with heart or breathing problems and children and older adults may be especially sensitive and should avoid outdoor activities.

SCHOOL ALERTS
All New York City public schools have also canceled all outdoor activities.The Clifton, Verona, and East Orange school districts have canceled recess and outdoor activities. The Wayne school district has issued a minimal schedule for all students and has canceled after-school activities as well.

Mahwah Township said it has closed all fields for the day for the safety of athletes and players.
Public schools in Huntington said all physical education classes and activities take place inside Wednesday.
Gov. Kathy Hochul issued the following statement about children and their safety outdoors in these conditions.
"Over the past several days, my team and I have been closely monitoring air quality and providing updates to New Yorkers as haze and smoke from Canadian wildfires continue to spread throughout the state. The State Department of Environmental Conservation and State Department of Health have issued air quality warnings since Monday, and according to the most recent forecast, much of the state outside of the North Country is expected to be in an air quality index of unhealthy to very unhealthy today. Additionally, my administration has been in contact with the cities of Syracuse, Rochester and New York. I support their decisions and the decisions of other districts to suspend outdoor school activities and strongly urge those who have not yet done so to follow suit."
WHAT TO KNOW
Exposure to elevated fine particle pollution levels can affect the lungs and heart.Dr. Mangala Narasimhan, SVP of Critical Care Services at Northwell says that smoke in the air "affects lots of different parts of your lungs. It causes you irritation, it causes people to cough, it causes difficulty breathing because the air is so heavy."
The air quality alerts caution "sensitive groups," a big category that includes children, older adults, and people with lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Kids, who often are encouraged to go out and play, "are more susceptible to smoke for a number of reasons," said Laura Kate Bender, the lung association's National Assistant Vice President, healthy air. "Their lungs are still developing, they breathe in more air per unit of body weight."
A toll-free air quality hotline has been established so New York residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll-free number is 1-800-535-1345.

Remember the canadian wildfire of 2016.. shit was supposed to be the worst
in recorded canadian history and OF COURSE its started by
FORT McMURRY... coincidence.. I think NOT!!
I think it's the smoke plus the sun making people look darker than they really are. Some folks look dark but their arms are pale.
The folks in the videos are mostly white.
I feel like this shit has been going on for at least a week or two in north west Ohio. Moon has been red or orange for a while now but noticed how hazy the sky looks a few hours before the sun sets.
Yea this captured it really well.. that orange hue was fuckin wild as fuck... but now it appears to be clearing up...
and I mean APPEARS shit seemed to be clearing up yesterday, then today we get a fuckin orange city bruh...
folks walkin around like.. Da fuck is going on???
News said that breathing that shit for 24 hours is the equivalent of smoking 17 cigarettesIt's getting real in NYC.....
.
I was wondering what the fuck was going on yesterday morning, the air was mad smoky and overcast...I thought it was just some local fires causing it, after I got the air quality warning on my phone I realized the shit was happening way up in Quebec fucking with us..
Mother nature's last warning.
