Wildfire particulate matter from Canadian forest fires significantly impacted the air quality in northeastern United States during summer of 2023. Here, we used real-time and time-integrated instrumentation to characterize physicochemical properties radiative effects wildfire reaching metropolitan areas New Jersey/ York this extreme incident. The forcing -352.4 W/m2 derived here based on measured optical explains, some extent, ground level temperature reduction about 3 °C observed City Such negative densely populated megacities may limit natural ventilation, increase residence time background pollutants, exacerbating public health risks. This study highlights importance their potential implications for climate, health.
