GOOD Morning America personality Deborah Roberts has provided her perspective on the latest environmental catastrophe.
Deborah recently revealed what living conditions are now like for New Yorkers as wildfires that rage in Canada alter the air quality in the Big Apple.
The city’s sky was super cloudy, and the window panes of Deborah’s office appeared to look dingy as if they were unclean.
Elaborated in the TV host’s caption was the damaging impact of the fires and the precautions that residents have to take to preserve their health.
“The view from my office window today. And no they don’t need cleaning! (Well, actually they do, but…),” Deborah wrote.
“This is the heavy, noxious haze drifting down from Quebec.
“NY authorities have issued an air alert, warning us all to avoid the outdoors and anyone with compromised respiratory issues to stay inside or wear masks. CraY times! #air #pollution.”
Fans congregated in her comment section, sending their prayers and providing their anecdotal evidence on the situation.
“Praying it passes quickly! So sorry for everyone in the northeast!,” one fan commented. Another added: “We had 30 days of this type of air here in California when the wildfires were going on.
“It felt apocalyptic on days that it was so bad. Sorry you are experiencing this.”
Someone else insisted: “Take care of yourself …we need your calming spirit during these crazy times.”
An Air Quality Health Advisory has been put into effect in several regions as a result, including Long Island, New York City metro, Upper and Lower Hudson Valley, the Adirondacks, Eastern Lake Ontario, and Central New York.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is calling for all residents, especially active children, adults, and those with respiratory issues such as asthma or long Covid, to limit their time outdoors and refrain from physical activity.
