Top of PageWhat will the Air Quality Health Index look like?
The health-based index will be much easier to understand because it: • Illustrates the level of risk with a number and colour scale from 1 to 10+ • Labels health risk levels as “low”, “moderate”, “high” or “very high” • Forecasts local air quality for today and tomorrow • Suggests actions we can take to reduce our health risks • Talks about how we can reduce air pollution • Encourages physical activity as appropriate based on personal susceptibility and index reading
