    Did you know...?

    Even if you are relatively fit and healthy, you could experience symptoms when exercising or working outdoors if pollution levels are higher than usual.


    The AQHI is an initiative between Environment Canada, Health Canada, Nova Scotia Environment, and The Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness in partnership with the Lung Association of Nova Scotia and Clean Nova Scotia.
