Atlantic Region Air Quality Services

Abstract: The Air Quality Prediction Program (AQPP) was established by Environment Canada in 1996 in response to the commitment of the department's Clean Air Strategy. This policy stated that every Canadian has the right to know the quality of the air that they breathe.

The impetus for this initiative is due in part to recent medical studies which have identified an increase in hospital admissions with deteriorating air quality. As such it has been recognized that Environment Canada's environmental prediction capabilities should play a more significant role towards addressing this issue.
