Did you know...?

Even modest increases in air pollution can cause small but measurable increases in the use of medication, emergency room visits, hospital admissions and premature death.

The AQHI is an initiative of Environment Canada, Health Canada, Manitoba Health, Manitoba Healthy Living, Manitoba Conservation, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, and The Lung Association, Manitoba.
