Oregón registra número récord de días con aire insalubre por humo de incendios

Las autoridades de calidad del aire de Oregón declararon el 6 de agosto que el estado había registrado un número récord de días con aire insalubre mientras el humo de los incendios forestales persistía en la región. Vincularon el aumento a cambios climáticos y a temporadas de incendios más largas. Anteriormente, FOX Weather informó que el humo de más de 30 incendios activos en Oregón y Washington era transportado por la corriente en chorro hacia el Medio Oeste, la región del Atlántico Medio y el Sureste, produciendo cielos brumosos y un impacto moderado en la calidad del aire.

Yahoo señaló que el humo generó condiciones de aire insalubre desde el Noroeste hasta el Sur, con los peores niveles cerca de Boise, Idaho. The Seattle Times indicó que el humo de grandes incendios cerca de Spokane se esperaba que redujera la calidad del aire a niveles insalubles en Seattle hasta el, lo que provocó avisos de salud. The Weather Channel advirtió que los cambios en los patrones de viento costero impulsarían el humo de los incendios del este de Oregón y Washington hacia el oeste de Washington y Oregón, aumentando las preocupaciones sobre la calidad del aire en el corredor Seattle-Portland durante la mitad de la semana.
