An air quality advisory was sent out to New Yorkers for Monday, when smoke from wildfires in Canada is expected to reach the state.

Unhealthy air quality conditions continued in the Upper Midwest and Northeast on Sunday afternoon, with the worst of it in eastern Wisconsin and Michigan.

Alerts were in effect for nine states Sunday and included the cities of Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit, as well as Syracuse and Buffalo in New York and Burlington, Vermont.

The smoke will make its way to New York City on Monday. The state Department of Environmental Conservation sent an alert Sunday warning of unhealthy air for some people.

The air quality index is expected to be between 101 and 150, which is known as Level Orange and is unhealthy for sensitive groups and may be unhealthy for those sensitive to air pollution, the alert said.
