Health Canada Reminds Canadians to be "Air Aware" – Check the Air Quality Health Index Before Going Outside this Summer

Issued June 14, 2012
Issue
Canada's natural environment offers many opportunities to enjoy healthy outdoor activities. Most Canadians don't need to change their plans to enjoy the great outdoors because of air pollution, but some people may need to reduce their risk by taking appropriate precautions. When you're making plans to exercise outdoors, enjoy a barbeque or take your kids to the park, remember to check the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) in your area first.
