Canadian wildfires are impacting air quality in US: See map

States across the U.S. are feeling the impact of the Canadian wildfires as air quality takes a hit from the smoke, according to a government website that tracks air quality in the United States.

As of Monday, Aug. 4, there are 59 uncontrolled wildfires and 108 controlled wildfires across Canada, the country's National Wildland Fire Situation Report said on its website. To date this year, there have been 3,582 fires.

The smoke floating over the border shared between America and Canada is now impacting air quality in states as far south as Texas, AirNow's data shows. The EPA has declared the air quality in states near the Canadian border as "unhealthy or "unhealthy for sensitive groups."
