How has wildfire smoke impacted New York businesses?

BBC World Service - Business Matters, How has wildfire smoke impacted New York businesses?

Intense Canadian wildfires bring pollution to the Big Apple

In New York, an orange haze blanketed the city's skyline and shrouded landmarks including the Statue of Liberty.

Smoke from Canada fires blankets the US. New York's famous skyscrapers smothered in an orange tinged smog, and residents resorting to wearing face masks, the authorities are issuing health warnings, urging people to stay inside, if possible.

Meanwhile, business owners are continuing running their business with hopes for the clear skies in the future.
