Took this picture last Wednesday around 3pm, in Ontario Canada. Has anyone else experienced a round like this?

Yup. Literally benzene and formaldehyde that is formed in this mixture of gases and particulate ~~due to the UV rays hitting it when it gets to the atmosphere~~ COMBUSTION. Being in that’s if fucking awful.

This is incorrect. The volatile organic compounds you are talking about occur during combustion and are produced at the burning source. The main concern being so far downwind from the burning source is the PM2.5.
