The Bay Area is experiencing smoke from several Canadian wildfires, leading to an extended air quality advisory. Though air quality is currently moderate, it could deteriorate into unhealthy levels due to pollution. Residents are urged to monitor conditions as over 25,000 evacuations are reported in Canada. Luckily for the Bay Area, prevailing weather patterns are preventing smoke from coming closer to the surface, minimizing health risks. However, vulnerable individuals, such as those with asthma, children, and the elderly, should take precautions against potential exposure to wildfire smoke.
Air quality in places like parts of the East Bay and South Bay is moderate but could switch to unhealthy levels.
For now, the Bay Area is in luck. Smoke coming from farther away drifts higher than if it were coming from a California wildfire.
Wildfire smoke and the pollution it contains can trigger wheezing for people with asthma, older people and children.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has extended an air quality advisory first issued Monday, cautioning residents to monitor pollution levels.
