Particles and gases from Canadian fires on way to Portugal

Particles and gases emitted by the raging forest fires in Canada are expected to reach the Iberian peninsula by Sunday, says meteorological institute IPMA, stressing whatever drifts over the mainland will “pose no threat to human health”. Northern Europe has already experienced the arrival of Canada’s ‘smoke clouds’, again with little in the form of damaging effect.
