Air quality alerts have been issued in several US states, warning millions of Americans to close all windows due to wildfire smoke blowing in from Canada.

Several large active wildfires have been burning from British Columbia to Saskatchewan and Manitoba over the last week, releasing plumes of toxic smoke toward the US.

Air quality alerts have been issued in Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin on Friday, which could reach levels deemed 'unhealthy for all.'

Meteorologists also forecast smoke to blanket parts of North Dakota and Illinois.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency advised residents to reduce outdoor physical activity, keep windows closed and avoid contributing to air pollution by limiting outdoor burning and vehicle use.

Light to moderate smoke is expected to stretch from the Plains to the East Coast on Saturday, with the heaviest concentrations likely over the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa.

The National Weather service urged Americans in the effect states to 'keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning.'

More than 160 wildfires across Canada have burned more than 1.6 million acres, prompting evacuations for more than 17,000 people.

While officials urge Americans to stay prepared, they note the current situation is less hazardous than in 2023, when Canadian wildfires turned skies across the Northeast a hazy orange.

It's a good thing nobody cut them trees down for lumber, or there would be less fuel for these wildfires, which are undoubtedly caused by Trump's Global Climate Change, eh.

Humans have lived with and in smoke for a million years.
The article does not explain why this particular smoke is 'toxic'.
