Canadian wildfire smoke is heavily affecting air quality in Jamestown. The AQI is at unhealthy levels and is expected to remain that way at least until mid-afternoon Friday, according to AccuWeather. The primary pollutant is particulate matter less than 2.5 microns, which is unhealthy to breathe as the tiny particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and even the bloodstream, causing adverse health effects, including difficulty breathing and throat irritation. People are advised to reduce outdoor pollutant exposure, and stay indoors. Air quality in Jamestown is expected to gradually improve through the afternoon.
