Hazy air from wildfire smoke is a ‘wake-up call’ for New York City By Ari Ephraim Feldman New York City PUBLISHED 4:00 PM ET Jul. 23, 2021 PUBLISHED 4:00 PM EDT Jul. 23, 2021 SHARE Among the many climate risks facing New York City, scientists do not consider wildfires a direct threat to the region.  But what about wildfires happening on the other side of the continent?  Scientists and climate experts say that New Yorkers should expect more and more days each year with conditions similar to earlier this week, when smoke drifting from wildfires in Canada and the western United States gave the city its worst rating for air quality in 15 years, according to data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The Air Quality Index on Tuesday was 154, on a scale that considers anything over 100 to be unhealthy.
