Normally, America 's smokiest cities lie out west, but in 2023 , Canada 's severe wildfires made cities in midwestern states such as Minnesota contenders.

Cities in Oregon , Nevada , Washington and other Western states had the highest smoke levels on average.

2023 saw metropolitan areas as far east as Baltimore flooded with unhealthy smoke levels, and cities in Wisconsin and Minnesota bore the brunt of the incoming smoke from Canadian forest fires.

A repeat of 2023 isn't likely to occur immediately, Jaffe said. But wildfire patterns are changing in North America . That comes with health implications for millions of Americans , with a growing body of research suggesting that smoke exposure can have long-term impacts on human health. "For cities and towns, I think it's important to be planning ahead and thinking about what's a normal year, and what's an extreme year," Jaffe said. Story Source: Cite This Page:.
