The smoke from the fires affect several areas of Canada arrived this week in Norway and “the smoke cloud is likely to reach other countries further south in Europe in the coming days,” according to the Norwegian Institute for Climate and Environmental Research (NILU).
This Friday several people have alerted to the smell of smoke and misty landscapes on the west coast of Norway, according to NILU sources. From this body they have maintained that this is difficult to confirm, but have ensured that smoke concentrations in southern Norway have increased.
However, the levels of smoke are low and its density is weak, so there is no probability of any adverse effect on the health of the population, as the Institute has explained.
“When the smoke reaches Europe, the number of particles is much lower,” said NILU researcher Nikolaos Evangeliou. This means that possibly we can see the smoke as a faint mist, and maybe smell itbut the amount of particles is so low that it should not cause any health hazard,” Evangeliou added.
The effects of this cloud of smoke raised alerts in New York, as the company IQAir.com, which monitors air quality around the world, said that the “capital of the world” registered the worst level of pollution of all the cities on the planet. .
