今年到目前为止,加拿大各地的野火已经烧毁了创纪录的2000万英亩,而且看不到结束的迹象。根据加拿大跨部门森林火灾中心的数据,目前全国有500处活跃的野火,超过250处被认为已经失控。烟雾已经向美国蔓延了一个多月。

Hochul说,现在了解7月4日假期的空气质量还为时过早。

“我们不知道未来几天会发生什么——今天会很糟糕,明天也会很糟糕。我们预计在接下来的几天里风力会开始减弱。我们现在不可能预测节日庆祝活动,”她说。

New York to roll out air quality phone alerts

New York will be rolling out phone alerts to remind residents to take precautions amid the poor air quality, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday.

The Air Quality Index is currently in the "unhealthy" category in Rochester and Buffalo.

"The truth is, there is no end in sight," Hochul said at news conference, noting the conditions could linger off and on through the summer. "This is the new normal for New Yorkers."

Phone alerts will be sent in areas where the Air Quality Index is above 200 for one hour or longer. Announcements will also be made on mass transit, where hundreds of thousands of masks will be handed out.

Hochul said it is too early to know about the air quality over the July 4 holiday.

“We don't know what is going to happen beyond the next couple days -- today will be very bad, tomorrow will be very bad. We expect to see the winds start to dissipate over the next couple days. It is impossible for us at this point to predict the holiday celebrations," she said.

Jackie Bray, commissioner of New York's Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, added that it's"totally appropriate to keep the pools open today, totally appropriate for people to be out, as long as they don't fall into these sensitive groups."
