The European Space Agency released this map showing the impact on atmospheric carbon monoxide from Canadian forest fires<\/a>. \u201cUsing data from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P mission, the image shows the average concentration of carbon monoxide for 1 May to 13 June. The extremely high concentrations, which are depicted in deep tones of orange, can be linked to active fires during the time. The image also shows how this air pollutant was carried as far as New York in the USA and over the Atlantic.\u201d<\/p>\n
