Paruhin na noon,
00:29.9
or earlier today, as the Mayor said,
00:32.2
the AQI, Air Quality Index, hit 484.
00:37.6
It tops out at 500.
00:39.8
What does that mean?
00:41.8
Anything above 300 is considered hazardous.
00:45.4
People should avoid physical activity outdoors.
00:49.3
People, if you're especially in various risk groups,
00:52.4
which I know Dr. Vassan will speak about a little bit more,
00:55.8
should remain indoors, keep activities level low,
00:59.1
and follow tips outlined by the Mayor,
01:01.6
including keeping your doors and windows closed,
01:03.8
making sure your filters are clean,
01:05.5
making sure you've closed the fresh intake on your A.C. if you have one.

Adam says, this dangerously high levels of wildfire smoke
01:14.8
that is choking the city is climate change related.
01:18.3
We're encouraging New Yorkers to stay home,
01:20.6
indoors, tonight and tomorrow, whenever possible,
01:24.4
especially our vulnerable New Yorkers.
01:27.0
All New Yorkers should limit outdoor activity
01:30.6
to the greatest extent possible.
01:33.3
If you must be outside, we recommend wearing a mask,
01:36.6
especially if you are elderly or a younger child.
01:42.4
For the safety and well-being of Filipinos and its consular staff,
01:46.6
the Philippine Consul General in New York
01:48.6
has suspended consular operations on June 8
01:52.3
due to hazardous air quality.
01:54.9
But for these New Yorkers meeting and dining at this Filipino restaurant,
01:59.3
life goes on despite the poor air quality index.
02:03.4
I guess it's my first time to experience,
02:05.6
to see such thick smoke being in New York City.
02:10.2
I think the last time I saw this much was back in 2001
02:14.0
during the 9-11 incident.
02:16.3
Actually, this afternoon, I noticed that
02:19.1
half the people on the streets, at least, were wearing masks.
02:23.0
Like, ugh! It's flashbacks from COVID-2020.
02:27.5
The plume of smoke that has blanketed Manhattan
02:30.9
did not stop Boston resident Jeremiah DeSesto
02:34.2
from dining al fresco with his cousin in New York.
02:37.2
Landing in a JFK today,
02:39.6
and it was just orange,
02:42.4
a little, like, post-apocalyptic almost.
02:44.9
So, definitely very strange.
02:47.1
Yeah, so I flew in from Italy,
02:49.4
and, yeah, it was okay,
02:51.2
but I was actually pretty worried that it might be cancelled.
02:54.5
They were giving us a warning that they were trying to get in
02:57.3
a little earlier, just before the smog.
02:59.8
The city government recommend mask wearing,
03:02.8
especially if you are elderly or a younger child.
