Humo de incendios en Canadá y Minnesota genera alertas de calidad del aire en EE.UU.

La Agencia de Control de la Contaminación del Aire de Minnesota emitió una alerta de calidad del aire cuando el humo de incendios forestales en Canadá y Minnesota se extendió desde la región de los Grandes Lagos hasta el noreste. Fox Weather informó que las nubes de humo de decenas de incendios en el oeste de Ontario y el norte de Minnesota se moverían hacia el este, provocando niveles peligrosos de contaminación y reduciendo la visibilidad a lo largo del corredor I-95. The New York Times señaló que una cúpula de alta presión atrapó el humo, intensificando el calor y generando alertas de calidad del aire en el noreste. WBUR y ABC7 confirmaron que el humo provocó alertas peligrosas en Nueva Inglaterra, con Boston registrando un AQI de alrededor de 130, y que Nueva York y partes de Nueva Jersey recibieron un aviso de calidad del aire. CBS News y The Guardian reportaron que el humo llegó a más de 20 estados, desencadenando alertas de calidad del aire de nivel insalubre a peligroso y recomendando a la población permanecer en interiores y usar mascarillas. Las autoridades de Maryland, Pensilvania y Carolina del Sur emitieron alertas de código rojo o púrpura, describiendo la situación como peligrosa y aconsejando limitar la actividad al aire libre.

CNN informó que el humo obligó a cancelar eventos y cerrar negocios antes de la final de la Copa del Mundo. BBC indicó que el premier de Ontario solicitó ayuda a Estados Unidos mientras el humo afectaba la calidad del aire desde Winnipeg hasta el medio oeste de EE.  UU. Posteriormente, el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional advirtió sobre la persistencia del humo, mientras funcionarios de Michigan exigían una respuesta de Canadá; Fox Weather añadió que tormentas previstas deberían desplazar el humo del este de EE.  UU. Según NPR, el presidente Trump amenazó con imponer aranceles a Canadá por el impacto del humo.
