Staying cool with a breeze for Sunday. Stray showers will also be possible but it won't be as big as a wash as what we got to start out the weekend!
Experts from PennEnvironment say air quality could decline as Canadian wildfires continue to rage and people begin turning on home heaters.YORK, Pa. — As Canadian wildfires continue to rip through parts of western and eastern provinces, Pennsylvanians could once again feel the impacts of poor air quality., says quantifying air quality can be difficult, as air pollution can’t always be seen. However, its effects can be felt by people.
Earlier this year, air quality in Pennsylvania was significantly impacted by the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. The smoke caused several burn bans and restricted airline travel. Those who suffered from asthma or other respiratory diseases were encouraged to remain indoors to not compromise their immune system.
“Those can be incredible sources of air pollution directly, especially for people in that home or nearby, and so that’s one way as the weather turns cold, we would expect a meaningful increase in air pollution,” Barber said. “Our existing air pollution problems are actually likely to get worse as climate change continues and so we’ll see that partially playing out as wildfires like the ones we experienced throughout the summer become more common, we’ll have big events like that leading to big spikes in air pollution,” Barber described.
