Methodology
Understanding the Canadian AQHI Scale
The Air Quality Health Index is Canada's scale for the health risk of the air around you. Environment and Climate Change Canada publishes it, from a mixture of ground-level ozone, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide.
1 – 3 Low RiskEnjoy your usual outdoor activities.
4 – 6 Moderate RiskConsider reducing or rescheduling strenuous outdoor activities if you have symptoms like coughing or throat irritation.
7 – 10 High RiskReduce or reschedule strenuous outdoor activities.
10+ Very High RiskAvoid strenuous activities outdoors.
