Quebec wildfires: Montreal air quality ranks worst in the world as officials urge people to stay indoors
Description
June 25, 2023
Montreal was listed as the city with the worst air quality in the world on Sunday due to the heavy smoke from the many forest fires still burning in the province. Officials say the poor air quality health risks are highest for people with lung or heart disease, the elderly, children, pregnant people and those who work outdoors. As Global's Elizabeth Zogalis reports, the alert is in place until midday Monday.
