It\u2019s not nearly as bad as last year\u2019s, but it\u2019s way earlier. The above is a frame from an animated map showing carbon monoxide concentrations earlier this month. \u201cThe extremely high concentrations, depicted in dark shades of orange, can be linked to active fires during this time period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
