Air quality refers to the degree to which the air is suitable or clean enough for humans or the environment.
Air quality categories use 5 colours to show pollution levels. Use the Activity guide to gauge how current air quality impacts your health.
Our air quality monitoring networks provide measurements for six criterion pollutants. We also conduct short-term campaign monitoring activities.
