Click on any of the following years to see the Air Quality Data
for that particular year.
The following table contains the data for Air Quality Measurement
in Ontario for the year 1997. As you can see there are a limited number
of sites where Air Quality is measured. In order to properly calculate
Air Quality for use as a Quality of Life Indicator you must add together
the columns of Moderate measurements (32-49) and Poor measurements(50-99).
Poor Air Quality for the QLI Project is measured as the number of hours
of Moderate or Poor Air Quality that is above 31 hours.
The other items represented in this table, which are the 7 columns
between Valid Hours and Year, are chemicals/pollutants measured in testing
Air Quality. We do not use this information in the QLI but you may be interested
in using this information in your local report.
