Top of PageWhile its great that the Air Quality Health Index informs people about air pollution and their health, shouldn we focus on ways to reduce air pollution?
The Air Quality Health Index will encourage Canadians to reduce personal and household emissions as well as promoting individual health. Governments and advocates can use this new tool to engage the public in education programs that encourage them to reduce vehicle emissions and energy use. Canadians can act in a number of ways to lighten their impact on the environment, from driving their cars less to conserving more energy at home The AQHI will where possible link to federal, provincial and municipal action plans to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases.
