The wildfires in Northwestern Alberta and Northeastern BC are continuing to affect air quality.
The Peace and Mackenzie remain under special air quality statements as the smoke comes from those fires, and smoke could spread to other areas of the province.
The Alberta Lung Association warns that asthmatics and anyone with COPD are at higher risk of attack when smoke is present, so it’s a good idea for those individuals to keep their inhalers close this week.
However, poor air quality can impact anyone, and the most common symptoms tend to be itchy noses and eyes, and headaches.
