Air pollution & sport safety

Poor air quality can severely impact the performance and health of all individuals involved in outdoor sport and physical activity. With financial and scientific support from Health Canada, SIRC developed the Air Quality Health Index module to help coaches and other sport leaders recognize the impact of poor air quality and pollutants on sport participants, coaches, and officials. Learn about the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) as a tool along with other resources including learning modules and infographics on SIRC Canada website.
