Air Quality Health Index

This app displays the Air Quality Health Index for major Canadian cities as given by Environment Canada. Here is what Environment Canada has to say about the AQHI:

The Air Quality Health Index or "AQHI" is a scale designed to help you understand what the air quality around you means to your health.

It is a health protection tool that is designed to help you make decisions to protect your health by limiting short-term exposure to air pollution and adjusting your activity levels during increased levels of air pollution. It also provides advice on how you can improve the quality of the air you breathe.

This index pays particular attention to people who are sensitive to air pollution and provides them with advice on how to protect their health during air quality levels associated with low, moderate, high and very high health risks.
