The air quality around the entire Fort McMurray region remains very destitute. The Alberta Health Services has issued warnings for the entire area with Health Quality Index of 10+ (very tall risk of triggering health issues) reported in the area. As evidenced in these images from the morning and evening passes of the Terra and Aqua satellites respectively,huge amounts of smoke are still billowing into the atmosphere. The Alberta Health Services has issued an air-quality advisory for the Fort McMurray area, as well as a precautionary air-quality advisory for Edmonton and communities in the North Zone due to wildfires.
