The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a scale designed in Canada to help understand the impact of air quality on health. It is a health protection tool used to make decisions to reduce short-term exposure to air pollution by adjusting activity levels during increased levels of air pollution. The Air Quality Health Index also provides advice on how to improve air quality by proposing behavioral change to reduce the environmental footprint. This index pays particular attention to people who are sensitive to air pollution. It provides them with advice on how to protect their health during air quality levels associated with low, moderate, high and very high health risks.

Il s’agit d’un outil de protection de la santé qui permet de prendre des décisions quant à la durée de l’exposition à la pollution de l’air ou à l’intensité des activités pendant les périodes de pollution élevée. La CAS fournit également des conseils et propose des changements de comportement qui permettent d’améliorer la qualité de l’air et de réduire l’empreinte écologique. Une attention particulière est accordée aux personnes sensibles à la pollution de l’air. Des conseils leur sont donnés sur les moyens à prendre pour protéger leur santé pendant les épisodes de pollution présentant des risques faibles, modérés, élevés ou très élevés. (fr)
