wildfire smoke
Burning woods' exhaust
Wildfire smoke is the airborne mixture of gases and fine particles released when vegetation burns in an uncontrolled fire.
It can travel hundreds of miles from its source, degrading air quality and creating hazy skies in distant regions: The wildfire smoke from Canada blanketed the city for days.
Health advisories often warn vulnerable populations to stay indoors when wildfire smoke reaches hazardous levels.
