Clean Air Online
Pacific & Yukon Region
Air quality is of growing concern in communities across our region, because it can affect
our health, the environment, and the economy. Poor air quality is the result of
many factors, both natural and human caused. Choices we make every day, like
driving our cars or burning wood to heat our homes, can significantly impact our
local air quality.
