The Comox Valley currently has the worst air quality in the province, measuring an 8 on the air quality index.
Vancouver has been downgraded to a low risk, with measurements of just two or three.
Fine particulate matter in the air from over 200 forest fires burning throughout the province is the cause of the air quality warnings.
