Smoke from wildfires in Minnesota and Canada, coupled with high temperatures, will create unhealthy air conditions across most of New York State today. DOH Commissioner James McDonald MD MPH: “People who are especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants, including the very young and those with pre-existing respiratory problems such as heart disease or asthma, should limit spending time outdoors, if possible. Those who experience symptoms or have symptoms that worsen should consider consulting their personal physician."
