abc.net.au/news/smoke-from-canadian-wildfires-forecast-to-reach-norway/102459632Norwegian officials say smoke from Canadian wildfires, which has enveloped parts of the US and Canada in a thick haze, is expected to pour into Norway.
The smoke has moved over Greenland and Iceland since June 1, and observations in southern Norway have recorded increasing concentrations of aerosolised particles, the independent research institution said. "We may be able to see some haze or smell smoke," Nikolaos Evangeliou, a senior NILU researcher, said.
"However, we do not believe that the number of particles in the air here in Norway will be large enough to be harmful to our health."
