18:12Now PlayingOne Canadian doctor is urging the international stars in Sunday's World Cup final to wear medical masks. That's to protect themselves against the "toxic soup" of wildfire smoke that covers much of the US Midwest to the Northeast right now. Tiny particles of pollution can travel deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, damaging the organs. Scientists say exposure can trigger asthma attacks and worsen heart and respiratory conditions. Concerns about the hazardous air quality are not limited to players on the pitch. There are thousands of fans arriving from around the world and there is also the wider public to think about, especially the vulnerable. US President Donald Trump blames Canada for the smog - and has threatened new tariffs - although the blazes are also burning in parts of the US. DW's Ben Fajzullin speaks to Courtney Howard.
