The state has issued an air quality health advisory through Thursday for all regions of New York.

Officials say contaminants from the Canadian wildfires are partly to blame.

The state says it won't get as bad as it was earlier this month, but people with underlying health conditions could be affected.

The air quality is forecasted to reach unhealthy index levels for western and central New York. On Long Island, the air quality is expected to be moderate with the biggest pollutant being ozone.

As a precaution, the MTA said free KN95 masks would be available at Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad and New York City subway stations.
