Poor air quality caused by smog and pollution can affect your health and your enjoyment of the outdoors. Let’s say it’s hot and humid day and your son, who has asthma, has a soccer game at 6 o’clock. Or maybe you have a heart condition and you plan to go for your regular afternoon. Did you know you can get a forecast of today’s air quality in your inbox, to help you plan a healthy day? The Smog Alert Network is an email notification service that provides advanced warning that poor air quality may be on its way.
To help protect Ontarians from the adverse effects of air pollution, the Ministry of the Environment has implemented the Air Quality Index, so you know the air quality for your community, right now.
