On July 17th, according to L'Équipe, New York is experiencing severe air pollution and extreme heat, prompting authorities to distribute masks to citizens.

According to reports, New York has entered a red alert due to poor air quality and extreme heat, and residents are advised to stay indoors as much as possible. The FIFA World Cup final will be held on Sunday at the New Jersey stadium.

After several days of high temperatures, New York is now facing air pollution. The New York City government has announced an extension of emergency measures for high temperatures, as a large amount of smoke from wildfires in Western Ontario, Canada, is severely worsening the air quality of this major American city. Only two days remain until the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, which will be held on Sunday at the New Jersey stadium, approximately 15 kilometers west of Manhattan.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation predicts that the air quality index for the New York metropolitan area will reach 200, which is considered "unhealthy" for everyone.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated, "The weather is dangerously hot, and the smoke from Canadian wildfires has also worsened our air quality. New Yorkers must be extra vigilant." He urged residents to prioritize staying in air-conditioned places, reduce outdoor activities, drink plenty of water, and check on their most vulnerable friends and family. Facing this dual threat, New York City will continue to open hundreds of cooling centers, providing air-conditioned spaces for people to escape both the heat and the smoke. If air quality continues to deteriorate, the city government advises against going to pools, beaches, or outdoor water play areas, considering air-conditioned indoor places safer. The city is also distributing free masks to reduce people's exposure to fine particulate matter.
