Smoke and haze from Canadian wildfires leave Detroit with some of the worst US air quality

DETROIT: The Detroit area woke up Wednesday to some of the worst air quality in the United States as smoke from Canada's wildfires settled over most of the Great Lakes region and unhealthy haze spread southward, as far as Missouri and Kentucky.

The Environmental Protection Agency's AirNow.gov site showed Detroit in the 'hazardous' range and warned that 'everyone should stay indoors and reduce activity levels.'
