Did you know...?
Even modest increases in air pollution can cause small but measurable increases in the use of medication, emergency room visits, hospital admissions and premature death.
The AQHI is an initiative between Environment Canada, Health Canada, the Department of Environment and Climate Change, and the Department of Health and Community Services of Newfoundland and Labrador.
