Smoke traveling from the Western wildfires is reaching all the way across the U.S., bringing vibrant red sunsets and moon glow to the East. But it s also carrying poor air quality and harmful health effects thousands of miles away from the flames.
Large fires have been actively burning for weeks across the Western U.S. and Canada. Currently, the largest in the U.S. is the Bootleg Fire in Oregon, which has now burned more than 600 square miles of land and become so large it generates its own weather.
For days, Eastern states have been trapped in a smoky haze originating from the fires across the nation. Smoke has settled over major cities nearly 3,000 miles from the fires, including Philadelphia and New York, and even in the eastern parts of Canada.

A division of NASA dedicated to air quality research is partnering with a team of scientists to study the impacts of sugar cane burning in western Palm Beach County, an undertaking spurred by Palm Beach Post and ProPublica reporting on air monitoring gaps in rural, sugar-growing communities.
Researchers, bolstered by a $218,000 grant from NASA, will use low-cost sensors and satellite data to track pollution from burning sugar cane crops, a winter-to-spring harvest practice used across the 400,000 acres of cane fields in Florida’s heartland.

Extremely dry conditions and heat waves tied to climate change have made wildfires harder to fight. Climate change has made the West much warmer and drier in the past 30 years and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more freque
