Did you know...?
You can plant trees to fight air pollution: their leaves trap airborne particles, which are then washed away by the rain.
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.
