An air quality alert remains in effect today for parts of the Hudson Valley due to smoke and haze from the Canadian wildfires.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada continue to impact air quality in the northern United States, even in the New York City metro area and Hudson Valley.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the Lower Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island, until midnight Tuesday, Aug. 5. NYSDEC said ground level ozone and particulate matter in the air due to wildfires in Ontario could exceed safe air quality index levels over 100.
