Watch live now: NY officials discuss possible poor air quality expected Wednesday due to Canadian wildfires.
Should the AQI rise above 100 Wednesday, the state issued the following guidance:
Anyone in vulnerable groups should avoid exertion outdoors and watch for symptoms when exposed to the outdoors. Vulnerable individuals include those with cardiovascular disease or lung disease , as well as children under 18, adults 65 and older, and pregnant people. When AQI is greater than 150, all New Yorkers should avoid strenuous outdoor activities, and those in vulnerable groups should avoid exposure to the outdoors, especially pregnant individuals who may become short of breath more easily.
Individuals who are pregnant may also be more vulnerable and become short of breath more easily, staying indoors when AQI is greater than 150 is advised. For people who spend time outdoors, when air quality is unhealthy, wearing a well-fitting face mask is recommended. AGroups that participate in outdoor activities or have outdoor workforces are advised to start planning for potential changes Wednesday.
