Wildfire Smoke Impacts Air Quality in TorontoA special air quality alert warns smoke from wildfires will reduce visibility and persist in southern Ontario through Monday.
- Environment Canada issued a special air quality statement due to wildfire smoke affecting Toronto’s air and visibility.
- Smoke levels can vary rapidly over short distances and are expected to linger in some areas until Monday.
- Vulnerable populations such as seniors, children, and those with health issues are advised to limit outdoor exposure and stay indoors.
- Keeping windows closed, using air purifiers, and wearing N95 respirators outdoors are recommended precautions.
If you must spend time outdoors, a well-constructed, well-fitting and properly worn respirator type mask (such as a NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent respirator) can reduce your exposure to the fine particles in the smoke.— Environment Canada stated this in an air quality advisory.
