Environment Canada issues air quality advisory for Toronto.
In an air quality statement issued this morning, the federal weather agency said high levels of smoke pollution are expected to persist throughout the day and possibly into Tuesday in some areas.“Smoke plumes from local forest fires as well as forest fires in Quebec have resulted in deteriorated air quality,” the statement read.
According to Environment Canada’s Air Quality Health Index, current conditions in the city are sitting at level 3, which represents a low risk to those in the area, but could rise to as high as level 5 by the end of the day.
