New York City's air pollution reached some of the world's worst levels on Wednesday, with smoke from Canadian wildfires causing a second day of orange haze over the city. The Federal Aviation Administration rerouted flights and visibility issues caused delays at Newark Liberty International Airport. The city's air quality rating reached its worst level since the 1960s on Tuesday, and as of Wednesday afternoon, the AQI was 166, considered unhealthy for all residents. The smoke releases fine particulate matter which can cause respiratory problems. Millions of people in the Midwest are also experiencing dangerous air quality conditions.
