For a perfect example of what @brenttoderian.bsky.social had to say about the #CommonSense of #ClimateSmart #CityBuilding on our recent show look no further than Calgary today where we again breathe the worst smoke on the #AQHI. #YYC now breathes ahistorical #smoke hours in the 100s per year

Today Calgarians will again breathe the most toxic level of air quality the #AQHI provides for, "10+". Historically it only went to 10 but in the last few years a new level was needed for when we go LITERALLY OFF THE CHARTS which we now do pretty much every year #SueBigOil

Is the smoke in #yeg coming from the #ABwildfires near Lac La Biche?
Not sure what the #AQHI values are, but the smell of #wildfire #smoke is definitely very unpleasant. Oof!

6 Moderate Risk Calculated at 1:00 AM CST Tuesday 22nd
7 High Risk 6:30 AM Tuesday Forecast Maximums 10+ Night 10+
And the Environment Canada AQHI chart is a lie. Well, it's actually covering for lies Environment Canada was telling last night. Here is the air quality they actually reported at 1:30am and 6:30am: #YQR #AQHI

As wildfire season ramps up, you’ve likely noticed higher AQHI values on your Weather Network app.
We’re breaking down what those numbers actually mean and how they can affect your health. ⬇️📱 #AQHI #WildfireSmoke

Not even 7pm and we'd already hit the most toxic level of air quality the #AQHI provides for, "10+". Historically it only went to 10 but in the last few years a new level was required for when we go LITERALLY OFF THE CHARTS which we now do pretty much every year #SueBigOil

By 10am we're on the cusp between medium & high risk wildfire smoke AGAIN. 2025 will irrefutably be yet another year where Calgarians breathe literally 100s of hours of smokey air where the norm since time immemorial was just 12 hours per year. Our bodies weren't made for this #SueBigOil #AQHI #yyc

Not even 7am and according to the handy dandy #AQHI system the air is already moderately hazardous to the health of you and yours. The ONLY good news is that means #BigOil OWES YOU MONEY again and they have *so* much of it. #SueBigOil

Understanding Canadian Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) & Wildfire Smoke
Wildfire smoke consists of toxic gases and particulate matter (PM) when breathed in gets into our lungs, bloodstream, and even our brain. 🧪🧵1/

Clean Air Day: The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a helpful tool designed to help you understand what the quality of the air around you means to your health, and to help you make decisions to protect yourself and the environment. Pollution and wildfire smoke contain a mix of gases and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that can cause health issues, or aggravate existing illnesses and chronic health conditions. The higher the number, the greater the risk and the need to take precautions.
The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is a very useful tool that can help you assess the state of #AirQuality where you live!

#NewBrunswick is expected to be exposed to smoke from wildfires happening in western provinces throughout the week.
Watch the #AQHI if you're planning outdoor activities. Many weather apps let you set up custom AQHI alerts based on your needs.

Good 🧵 by @amandalhu.bsky.social (on Twitter) about #AirQuality ratings, measurements, and a calculator for the equivalent in number of cigarettes smoked 😱

Calgary AQHI rating now down to just a 'moderately risky' level 5 out of 10 and beyond
Sparse sleep in my 30+ degree rental last night. Normally I'd've cooled it by opening windows but not at the #VeryHighRisk #AQHI rating we had yesterday. Sweating at 730 this morning. Now flooding my apartment with cool yet moderately risky air while we've got it. #Climate #yyc

Wildfires around Alberta are leading to poor air quality all over the province. Many places have AQHI of 10 or higher today. Please limit time outdoors and stay safe 🙏🏽

With wildfires continuing to affect many parts of Alberta, air quality is poor in many places. Check out my latest post to learn about how air quality affects health and how you can protect yourself and family.
