GATINEAU, Quebec –– Julie Dabrusin, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature, and Marjorie Michel, Minister of Health, issued the following statement to mark Clean Air Day in Canada. ….”As wildfires continue to affect communities across Canada, the Government of Canada is helping Canadians understand the health risks associated with wildfire smoke and how to reduce their exposure. We support this by providing forecasts, alerts, and the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) through the WeatherCAN app and Canada.ca/weather. The AQHI helps people understand how air quality in their area could impact their health so they can limit their exposure or adjust activity levels during periods of increased air pollution. …”On this Clean Air Day, we encourage Canadians to learn more about air pollution, understand how government actions are improving air quality, and take steps to protect their health.”
