About this episode

The episode discusses the dangerous air quality caused by wildfire smoke and the Legionnaires' bacteria outbreak in NYC.

Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach "dangerous" levels across Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States.

Also, towers on 76 buildings on the Upper East Side have tested positive for the bacteria, the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said Tuesday. Learn more about your ad choices.
