WASHINGTON — Tourists in the U.S. capital are taking Canada’s prodigious wildfire smoke in stride.
Air quality notifies in Washington, D.C., reached “code purple” status today, one notch listed below the “maroon” levels in neighbouring Baltimore.
But while the grey haze made constructing the Washington Monument and the Capitol hard from a range, it was a various story on the ground.
The normal crowds of visitors jammed the walkways along the National Mall, outside the White House and on the Capitol premises, with just a relative handful selecting face masks.
