  1. can anybody tell me what's the story in Harrisburg and Lancaster and throughout the Washington DC Philadelphia New York etcetera area today its most concentrated in Lancaster and then Harrisburg primarily particulate PM 2.5. I'm in New Jersey and this needs to stop… today is January 23rd if referring to posted short

  2. China uses water mist / sprinkler to cool and clean the air from pollution.
    They are also leading in green energy🌏

  3. Maybe…..but your millions of guns are too

  4. Nah they are doing population control lets stop the bs

  5. Not just the air but also the water. Test your water

  6. Im am from Canada and i was to say sorrry for all this even if its not my faut i hope you are all okay and breathing well may god bless you with taking of the wild fier for you guys (aka usa)

  7. still yet to see one video of canadian forest fires

  8. Why can't them nasty Canadians.handle their 🔥 fires

  9. Yea, the whole sky turned dark orange and the sun even turned reddish. But my friend in Canada Toronto surprisingly said there sky there were perfectly fine..I was in so much shock

  10. Apparently, it only affects the black population according to NBC. Good to know I'm safe.

  11. 😢good lord- here we go with the mask ordeal agin.😂

  12. I remember like 20 years ago there were big wildfires in California, I live in Tj the border with San Diego and one sunday we woke up to a red sky and all this smoke, next day we were in school and I remember ash falling on us from the sky and all of us feeling sick because of the smoke, the next day the principal was at the entri of the school saying school would be cancelled for the rest of the week because of the smoke and ash, it took them so long to control the fires, hope they can control that soon in Canada, it realy is a bad experience. Be safe

  13. This is what happens when you don’t let wildfire do its thing. It is important for natural wildfires to be left alone or, you need to do controlled burns to replace them. If no fire is allowed they become out of control when they eventually arise. We were not here first and we fid this. We need to try to do as much as possible to let the planet it do its thing and or safely artificially create the same results with stuff like controlled burns.

  14. I lve in south part of N.J. Last night you could see the smoke in the air. It was horrible to breathe. Smelled like burning plastic!

  15. We live in Syracuse and the air IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE my eyes are kinda drying from the smoke form it but yea ITS HOERIBLE….

  16. How is it any different then sitting around a camp fire all night
