Air Quality Monitoring In New Brunswick

We know that air pollution can have an effect on the health of our environment and on human health. People who have respiratory difficulties are particularly sensitive to poor air quality. Children are frequently affected because of their physiology and because they tend to be more active outdoors. Monitoring air quality in New Brunswick helps us to better understand the sources, movements and effects of various substances in the air we breathe. The data we collect helps us to control sources of air pollution within our province, and to negotiate with governments in other jurisdictions for controls on air pollution that crosses borders. The more we know, the more effectively we can work to protect and enhance our air quality and our environment.
