Ultraviolet Index / Air Quality Information Supplied By Environment Canada. UV (Ultraviolet Index) The UV index is included in Environment Canada's weather forecasts whenever it is expected to reach 3 (moderate category) or more. Remember that the amount of UV you receive depends on both the strength of the sun's rays (UV Index) and the amount of time you spend in the sun. Special alerts are not issued. Air Quality Poor air quality, especially fine particles and ground-level ozone, affects respiratory health and contributes to hundreds of premature deaths each year in Canada. It also impairs visibility and adversely affects materials and the natural environment. Smog is the most visible form of air pollution and is of particular concern in several of Canada's major urban areas (the Lower Fraser Valley, the Windsor-Quebec Corridor and the Southern Atlantic Region) during spring and summer. Air quality forecasts are issued daily across the country. The program works in partnership with the various provinces. In addition to the forecast, when standards are exceeded an Air Quality Advisory (BC), Smog Watch and Smog Advisory (Ont), Air Quality and Health Advisory (Atlantic) or Smog Warning (Quebec) is issued by the provinces. |
