What happened
Thunderstorms are expected to clear much of the smoke from the New Jersey area before Sunday’s World Cup final, but unhealthy-air warnings continued in parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and Illinois extended an Air Pollution Action Day through Monday. Smoke from nearly 850 active wildfires in Canada, including more than 180 in Ontario, plus fires in Minnesota has pushed into the Midwest, Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. More than 100 million people have faced air-quality alerts, with officials urging residents to stay indoors, limit exertion and use masks or filtered air.
