The smoke floating over the border shared between America and Canada is now impacting air quality in states as far south as Texas, AirNow's data shows. The EPA has declared the air quality in states near the Canadian border as "unhealthy or "unhealthy for sensitive groups."

Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to affect air quality across the Midwest, though Monday’s conditions were an improvement for most of the Chicago area.

With hundreds of wildfires burning across Canada, smoke has drifted into the northern United States, lowering air quality across roughly a dozen states.
