View current AQHI observations around Edmonton and compare observed health-risk conditions with the separate wildfire-smoke forecast.
How to read AQHI around Edmonton
Edmonton air quality reflects several pollutant sources in addition to wildfire smoke, including transportation, industry, ozone, and seasonal weather patterns. AQHI communicates combined health risk at reporting locations and should not be treated as a direct smoke concentration at every point in the metropolitan area.
Observation, not a city-wide constant
AQHI values come from participating reporting locations and communicate combined health risk from multiple air pollutants. The nearest observation may not match every neighbourhood around Edmonton, and a missing marker is not evidence of clean air. Wildfire smoke is one possible contributor rather than the definition of AQHI.
A focused starting view, not a clipped dataset
This page starts the national FireRadar layer around Edmonton. The underlying AQHI station layer is not clipped to municipal boundaries, so nearby conditions remain visible as you pan or zoom. FireRadar does not infer a uniform value inside a city boundary.
Health and safety limitation
FireRadar is an informational environmental map. Follow Environment and Climate Change Canada, provincial health agencies, local public-health guidance, and emergency authorities for health or safety decisions. This page does not diagnose exposure, determine whether outdoor activity is safe, or predict individual health effects.
