Air Quality Alerts for: Huntingdon area

Warnings

Smog Warning in effect for:
  • Huntingdon area

High concentrations of pollutants are expected this morning, which will result in poor air quality, especially in metropolitan areas where pollutant emissions are more significant. Smog especially affects asthmatic children and people with respiratory ailments or heart disease. It is therefore recommended that these individuals avoid intense physical activity outdoors until the smog warning is lifted. We can all help improve air quality by doing simple things, such as limiting the use of fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, opting to use public transit, reducing our driving speed and not letting our car engines idle unnecessarily. In Quebec, wood heating is the main source of fine particles that contribute to smog during winter. This activity generates the largest number of these particulates, more than industrial activities and transportation. Please consult your municipality's website to find out if there are any rules governing the use of wood-burning stoves or fireplaces in your community. Additional information: To learn more about the Info-Smog program, go to Environment Canada’s website at canada.ca/info-smog-program. For air quality indexes in Quebec, visit the website of the Ministère de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques at iqa.mddelcc.gouv.qc.ca/contenu/index_en.asp. For the air quality index in Montréal, visit the Réseau de surveillance de la qualité de l’air de la Ville de Montréal’s website at Air Quality in Montréal. To learn more about the effects of smog on your health in Québec, visit the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux’s website at quebec.ca/en/health. You can also visit the Direction régionale de santé publique de Montréal at santemontreal.qc.ca/en/public. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
