The National Mall fireworks show attracted thousands to D.C. and lit up the sky in a beautiful display, but it also left lingering smoke and triggered air quality alerts into Wednesday morning.Air quality has improved but much of the D.C. region is under either a “Code Red,” or “Code Orange,” air quality alert, according to AirNow.“We’re looking at some very unhealthy levels across parts of our area,” 7News Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson said. “There’s no fireworks display that was bigger than what was happening over D.C., and with the winds being out of the west and southwest, we’re seeing some of the fine particle pollutants being carried into Northern Prince George’s County.”Under a “Code Orange,” air is unhealthy for people in sensitive groups, such as those with heart or lung disease, kids and older adults.
