Daily News | Air quality in Philadelphia reaches ‘unhealthy’ levels for some as fires in Canada burn
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has declared a “code red” air quality day across the entire commonwealth, as fine particulate matter from smoke stemming from Canadian wildfires has once again made its way south.
The air quality index in Philadelphia as of 10 a.m. was 102, according to government data. That’s enough to place the city in the orange “unhealthy for sensitive groups” category. Concentrations of smoke are expected to increase throughout the day in eastern Pennsylvania, according to the Department of Environmental Protection.
