Environment Canada has issued another Special Air Quality Statement for the North Bay-West Nipissing area.
Environment Canada stated smoke is causing poor air quality and reducing visibility. Smoke is expected or occurring.
Possible high levels of air pollution due to smoke from forest fires over the next few days.
Smoke plumes are over parts of the region from forest fires in the vicinity of Key River. Air quality may deteriorate if the smoke descends to ground level.
Individuals may experience symptoms such as increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches or shortness of breath. Children, seniors, and those with cardiovascular or lung disease, such as asthma, are especially at risk.
An Air Quality Statement ended for the Sudbury area while North Bay and area are still under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
