Wildfire smoke causes widespread event cancellations

Canadian wildfire smoke caused poor air quality across Maryland, prompting closures, cancellations and adjustments to outdoor plans on Friday. The Maryland Department of the Environment issued a Code Purple air quality alert for much of the state for part of Friday afternoon for "very unhealthy" conditions for the general population. Health experts are urging people to limit their time outdoors. A doctor from Johns Hopkins emphasized that face masks may not provide full protection as the particles in the air can be small enough to seep through.
