Taking action toward improved air quality
MONITORING
The Environmental Law Centre (ELC) has created the Community Action on Air Quality package. The package provides information on setting up environmental monitoring training programs and community monitoring groups. You can also order a printed copy by calling the ELC at 1-800-661-4238.
HUMAN HEALTH AND ECOSYSTEM EFFECT
If you are concerned that air quality is affecting your health, health advice is available from anywhere in the province. Health Link Alberta provides telephone advice and health information around the clock.
