As the globe marks World Clean Air Day today, DH Lifelabs, a global leader in air purification technology, underscores the urgent need for collective action in combating air pollution, particularly in light of the ongoing wildfire crisis in Canada that has profoundly impacted air quality in the United States.
Approximately 75 million people across the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast parts of the US, including major cities such as New York, Boston, Washington, DC, Charlotte, Detroit, and Indianapolis, are under air quality alerts due to the wildfire smoke originating from Canada. The smoke has been so severe that New York City experienced air quality levels unseen since the 1960s.
