Air quality in Charlotte Monday is now "unhealthy" for some members of the general public and not just those who have health-related sensitivities. This upgrade to "Code Red" conditions happened as smoke from Canadian wildfires continued to move into the Carolinas.

Air quality data collected at Friendship Park, along Remount Road, and at Garinger High School reached the Code Red level Monday evening after slowly experiencing a decrease in air quality throughout the day. Air quality, which is measured on a 0-to-500 scale called AQI, reached 151 on those sites. Code Red, which is considered unhealthy air quality for most individuals, requires a AQI of at least 150.

Elsewhere across Mecklenburg County, also showed some decrease in air quality because of the smoke particles.
