The view from the rooftop of my mid-rise condo: Ontario parliament buildings on the left; Queen's Park and the University of Toronto on the right; and Lake Ontario...where is it? It should be on the horizon, but smoke from burning forest fires has made Toronto's air quality the worst in the world today! Apologies to neighbouring provinces and states and even to countries across the Atlantic as the smoke continues to spread. Enough said :(((
Thinking of you. I wonder all the time how bad the smoke is in Canada. It has looked about the same as your picture the last 2 days here in Iowa, but I think tomorrow is supposed to be better here. Sure wish the fires would end, but they say on TV they're expected to burn most of the summer. Take care, Heather.
@lynnz@yaorenliu Thank you, Lynn and Yao. Yes, I have heard that prediction, too (the fires expected to burn most of the summer). We're being told that this is our new normal! We have treated nature so badly!
@wendyfrost You're so right about health issues, Wendy! We have been learning about particulate matter and how it gets into the blood stream and can cause all sorts of awful health issues! (stay indoors, with windows closed (for people with air conditioning); run air purifiers; wear N95 masks when outside: this is the advice we are getting. What have we done to our poor earth?!)
That’s an amazing view Heather (I’d love to see it on a clear day) but that smoke is very worrying with all the health issues associated with it. Do you wear a mask when you go outside? Thinking of you and hoping things improve very soon. 🥰
