Environment Canada placed the City of Toronto under a special air quality statement Sunday, almost two weeks after the city was first enveloped by an intense period of increased levels of smoke and pollution.
CBC NewsToronto City skyline, from along Lake Ontario in the Portlands and then from Riverdale, is seen on June 8, when the city was placed under a special air quality statement for the third day in a row. The city was placed under it again on Sunday due to smoke plumes from forest fires in Quebec and northeastern Ontario.
It first ranked Toronto's air quality a five out of the 10-point Air Quality Health Index scale, which measures air quality based on how it will impact health. The number signals a moderate risk and means there is no need to cancel outdoor activities unless people are coughing or their throats are irritated.It says those considered at risk should consider cutting back on or rescheduling strenuous outdoor activities if they are experiencing symptoms.
Toronto remained under a special air quality statement from June 6 to 8, where at some points the city was considered "high risk" due to the levels of pollution and smoke in the air, also due to the ongoing wildfires.
