This week, air quality issues in the tri-state area are predominantly due to ground-level ozone pollution rather than wildfire smoke. While some haze is expected from central Canadian wildfires, the main health concern is the Air Quality Index exceeding 100, classifying conditions as 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.' Alerts are in place from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. for New York City. Other regions might experience intense smoke effects, but the tri-state should primarily see hazy horizons and colorful sunrises without significant health impacts for most people.
Ground-level ozone pollution is expected to exceed Air Quality Index levels of 100 in the tri-state area, particularly affecting sensitive groups but mostly safe for others.
While wildfire smoke may cause haze this week, it is expected to have little impact on air quality in the tri-state area compared to regions like Minnesota.
