Provide Your Feedback on Air Quality
Our portable AQHI station will be moving from its current location outside the Grimshaw Town Office in the Fall 2023. As part of PRAMP’s consultation process, we have developed a short public survey to allow residents to advise us of their air quality monitoring concerns.

Through the survey, regional residents will have an opportunity to express questions or comments regarding air quality throughout our Airshed or in their specific area.

The survey will be open until Friday, June 2, and is available on our website.

Learn About Air Quality Monitoring in Alberta


Alberta Airsheds Council's 2022 Annual Air Quality Report features the work of Alberta’s 10 Airsheds and provides air quality monitoring highlights for the year.
 
“By collaborating and working closely together, Alberta’s 10 Airsheds are bringing the very best in air quality monitoring and reporting to Albertans,” said Gary Redmond, co-chair of Alberta Airsheds Council.

“Our current results indicate that the air Albertans are breathing is low risk the vast majority of the time; however, air quality challenges remain in many areas of the province. Airsheds monitor air quality so that Albertans can continue to make informed choices for their health,” says Redmond.
  
2022 Annual Air Quality Report: Highlights

  • Alberta’s Airsheds collect data to calculate the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), a real-time air quality rating reported in 35 Alberta communities. The AQHI represents the relative risks of a combination of air pollutants known to harm human health including ozone, fine particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide.
  • In 2022, all Alberta continuous monitoring stations saw AQHI ratings in the low-risk range 88% to 99.5% of the time (low-risk is 1-3 on the AQHI rating scale).
  • The provincial average AQHI rating was 2.2 on the 10-point AQHI scale (1 representing the lowest risk and 10 the highest).
  • 334,017 hours of data were used to calculate the overall provincial AQHI rating.
  • From 2019 to 2022, the average AQHI rating for the province has been at 2.2 or lower.
