Kelowna’s air continues to be among the worst in the world due to wildfire smoke
Description
September 13, 2022
With thick wildfire smoke blanketing the Okanagan--it's not a surprise that the valley's air isn't good right now.. But according to one website that keeps track of the air quality around the world, ours is currently among the worst. As Klaudia Van Emmerik reports, Interior Health is advising everyone to monitor the air quality index and limit time outdoors.
