Currently, many states along Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are experiencing very poor air quality due to smoke coming from numerous fires in Canada. Smoke inhalation is dangerous for everyone; however, the elderly, children, pregnant women and those with underlying heart and lung conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease and interstitial lung disease are at greater risk.
