Canada AQHI Map — Current Air Quality Health Index

This focused map starts with current ECCC AQHI station observations enabled. Numbered station markers show the latest usable health-risk index reported for each location, while Wildfires, satellite hotspots, and the FireWork smoke forecast start turned off.

Current AQHI observations

What this map shows

Current station observations

Each numbered marker represents the newest usable AQHI observation available from an ECCC reporting location.

Health-risk categories

Marker styling separates low, moderate, high, and very-high AQHI risk ranges while preserving the reported numeric value.

An isolated air-quality view

Wildfires, recent out fires, satellite hotspots, and the wildfire-smoke forecast start turned off.

How to interpret it

AQHI is not smoke-only

Wildfire smoke can increase AQHI, but ozone, nitrogen dioxide, other fine-particle sources, and local atmospheric conditions also affect the index.

Stations describe their area

A station observation is not a measurement at every point around it. Conditions can vary over short distances and between reporting times.

Use official health guidance

AQHI communicates health risk. Follow official ECCC, provincial, territorial, and local health guidance for recommended actions.

AQHI alerts

Get an alert when AQHI reaches high risk near you.

Choose one alert threshold. A Free My FireRadar account includes three basic email Alerts. FireRadar Plus includes up to 10 enhanced Alerts, multiple compatible conditions and eligible SMS delivery.

AQHI is an official health-risk observation; coverage and station proximity vary by location.

AQHI alerts indicate the selected official health-risk threshold was observed. They are informational and do not replace official health or emergency guidance.

Province and territory views

Air quality by province and territory

Open the same FireRadar air-quality observation layer with a province- or territory-focused starting viewport. AQHI remains the official health-risk index, while observed PM2.5 is shown separately where available.

Coverage and limitations

AQHI observations come from monitoring stations and may be delayed or unavailable. The nearest station may not reflect conditions at a specific address, and a low value does not prove that smoke or other pollution is absent nearby. FireRadar does not present old or invalid observations as a current low-risk reading.

Questions and answers

Common questions about this map

What does the AQHI map show?

It shows the newest usable Air Quality Health Index observation available from participating ECCC reporting locations across Canada.

Is AQHI a wildfire smoke measurement?

No. Wildfire smoke can raise AQHI, but the index reflects combined health risk from multiple air pollutants and local atmospheric conditions.

Why might there be no AQHI marker near me?

AQHI coverage depends on participating reporting locations and current usable observations. Some remote or rural areas have limited station coverage.

How current are the observations?

FireRadar shows the latest usable ECCC observations and labels delayed information rather than presenting it as current.

Data source

FireRadar presents this view using Environment and Climate Change Canada MSC GeoMet. The interactive map is informational and may not reflect source changes immediately.
