The city of Prince George and Vanderhoof are under special air quality advisories, which could last over the next 24-48 hours according to Environment Canada.
The Environment Canada website says individuals may experience symptoms such as increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches, or shortness of breath.
Paula Tait, Technical Advisor with Northern Health says the smoke coming from the fires burning throughout the province is the main contributor to the lower air quality in the area.
“When there’s expected to be smoke in the area we know that the particulate level in the air will also go up, so that’s the very fine particles in the air that can be breathed into the lungs,” explained Tait.
