Adams described his reaction when he first encountered the smoke condition Tuesday. He said he was working indoors when the city began messaging people about the rapidly deteriorating conditions.
"This is an unprecedented event in our city, and New Yorkers must take precautions," he added."At the moment, we recommend vulnerable New Yorkers stay inside, and all New Yorkers should limit outdoor activity to the greatest extent possible. This is not the day to train for a marathon or to do an outside event with your children."
"Air quality conditions are anticipated to temporarily improve later tonight through tomorrow morning, but they are expected to deteriorate further tomorrow afternoon and evening," Adams said."While this may be the first time we've experienced something like this on this magnitude, let's be clear: It's not the last. Climate change has accelerated these conditions and we must continue to draw down emissions, improve air quality and build resiliency.
