A Code Red was issued across Pennsylvania Wednesday by the Department of Environmental Protection due to lingering smoke in the air from Canadian wildfires. A Code Orange was issued for New Jersey. As happened earlier this month, the DEP said the air quality worsened overnight as smoke pushed south from the Great Lakes region. The smoke is expected to linger in the air in Philadelphia and across Pa. and N.J. on Thursday and Friday. MORE: Young children, older adults, those who are immunocompromised and sufferers of asthma, emphysema and bronchitis are advised to stay indoors.
