A large fire raged at the Port of Newark early Tuesday morning, and New York City’s air quality quickly deteriorated as the smell of smoke wafted through Manhattan and Brooklyn.
As the fire burned, the air quality index (AQI) at Central Park rose as high as 152, a level considered unhealthy for everyone, even those otherwise in good health. At that level, the EPA recommends everyone consider reducing time outdoors or staying inside altogether.
