Wildfire smoke blankets American cities ahead of the World Cup final

Thick smoke from the wildfires in Canada and northern Minnesota has caused a deterioration in air quality across the United States, especially near New York. Conditions have become unsafe and volatile, raising concerns about public health and the upcoming final match of the World Cup scheduled for Sunday. The fires have led to severe pollution levels classified as the most dangerous, with pollution in Detroit, Texas, and other areas surpassing safe thresholds. The causes of the fires continue, and forecasts predict their intensity will increase due to the aging of photo-chemical processes. Experts have warned about the health impacts, emphasizing that climate change contributes to the rising frequency and length of wildfire seasons. Efforts to combat the fires in Canada are ongoing amid expectations of unpredictable weather conditions.
