Air Quality Monitoring & Control

The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a means of helping people understand current conditions compared to what is considered acceptable, risks to public health increase at AQHI rises.
 

The AQHI is an initiative of Environment Canada, Health Canada, Alberta Environment and Parks, Alberta Health and Alberta Health Services. 

Air quality has economic consequence as it may impact sick days, costs to the health care, reduced agricultural output, etc. The impacts are mitigated by monitoring, reporting, and controlling limited short-term exposure to air pollution and by reducing releases of such point sources.
