Smoke from poorly managed “wildfires” in Canada — especially in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba — is drifting into the U.S. and polluting the air across much of the Midwest and Great Lakes region. The following states are under Air Quality Alerts:
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Michigan
Illinois (all 102 counties under alert)
Iowa
Missouri (northern areas)
Northern Indiana
Parts of Nebraska
Major Cities Impacted
Chicago, IL
Minneapolis, MN
Milwaukee, WI
Detroit, MI
These cities recently ranked among the worst in the world for air quality due to the Canadian smoke.
