Washington, D.C., will once again be under a"code red" air quality alert due to wildfire haze as smoke from Canadian fires drifts into mid-Atlantic and Northeast states.
The most recent wave of smoke from the wildfires in Canada comes weeks after D.C. experienced considerable air quality issues earlier this month, with the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments issuing a"code purple" health advisory, marking the region's first code purple day for fine particle pollution under the current air alert system.
