This dashboard reports the AQHI from Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Stations and the PM2.5 concentration from Purple Air microsensors from across the province.
An AQHI of 7 (PM2.5 concentration of 60 µg/m3) and above represents a high health risk for the general population, but vulnerable groups (children, seniors, pregnant people, and those with pre-existing conditions), are at greater risk at lower levels. It is always important to monitor symptoms, as personal responses are unique. Read our recommendations for children here: littlelungsab.ca/recommendations

The Continuous Monitoring Station AQHI is sourced from the Government of Alberta: https://airquality.alberta.ca/map/. Microsensor PM2.5 concentrations are sourced from Purple Air sensors at: https://api.purpleair.com/. The Canada ECCC correction factor has been applied to the PurpleAir PM2.5 data. PurpleAir is a network of consumer sensors; sensors are owned and managed by consumers, therefore PurpleAir does not guarantee data accuracy.
