Wildfire smoke from Canada has triggered air quality alerts across parts of the US Midwest, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and nearby states.
Minneapolis reported some of the world’s worst air pollution, with the air quality reaching unhealthy levels. The smoke is expected to linger through the weekend, posing health risks for vulnerable groups, Reuters reported.
Canada is battling over 700 active wildfires, with several burning out of control. Authorities warn poor air quality may persist into Sunday.
