Air Quality
Air monitoring equipment is currently deployed in Jasper. The information collected by monitoring equipment is used to calculate the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) for Jasper and is reported on the AQHI Website, and the WeatherCAN App.
AQHI values are automatically generated based on air quality data reported by air monitoring equipment. Additional information on the calculation used to generate AQHI values is available here. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring data is also available publicly here.
Air quality monitoring and strict zero-dust requirements will be mandatory for all debris removal permits. Occupational Health and Safety regulations will be enforced, with departmental representatives monitoring worksites to ensure compliance.
