Canadian Wildfires Spread to the US: Hidden Risks in the Chip Supply Chain

Wildfires in Canada have triggered air quality alerts in 19 U.S. states, with Michigan reaching 'hazardous' levels. The smoke poses risks for heart patients and asthmatics, and could indirectly disrupt the chip supply chain. U.S. politicians are blaming Canada for inaction. Experts warn this could affect companies like Nvidia and TSMC.

The spread of Canadian wildfire smoke could lead to delays in the chip supply chain. TSMC and ASML must take measures to avoid disruptions in raw material supplies.
