Asthma Society of Canada

Air pollution is a key trigger of asthma and associated allergies. The Asthma Society of Canada (ASC) is committed to helping adults and children with asthma and associated allergies to breathe easier and recognizes the vital importance of clean air. Although it is not conclusive that air pollution causes asthma, evidence suggests that air pollution is a key trigger for its exacerbation. Due to this growing concern, the Government of Canada and its partners have launched a new national Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) to help you protect yourself against the harmful effects of air pollution.
