Thick smoke clogged the sky in Chicago early Tuesday, with a gray haze limiting visibility, and a faint burning smell filled the air as residents commuted to work. In downtown Detroit, smoke could be seen lingering over the skyline and the National Weather Service issued an air quality advisory for the city until Wednesday night.

Chicago and Detroit held the top two rankings for worst air quality in the world, according to IQAir’s Air Quality Index. The two Midwest metropolitans alternated between the "unhealthy" and "very unhealthy" categories through Tuesday.
