The state Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an air quality health advisory for Sunday due to smoke from wildfires in Canada. If you step outside this weekend, it may look hazier than usual. That’s because fine particulate matter is in the air from the Canadian wildfires, according to a news release from the DEC.

Although the majority of wildfires are occurring in western Canada, smoke from these fires has been drifting eastward, impacting air quality in areas around the Great Lakes and the U.S. Northeast, shows AirNow, the Environmental Protection Agency's interactive air quality map.
