Montreal Air Quality Map

View current AQHI observations around Montreal while keeping observed health-risk conditions separate from modelled wildfire smoke.

How to read AQHI around Montreal

Montreal air quality reflects wildfire smoke as well as traffic, industry, ozone, and local weather. AQHI observations provide health-risk context at reporting locations, but FireRadar does not attribute the index to a specific wildfire or assume the same value applies across the entire 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 Montreal, and a missing marker is not evidence of clean air. Wildfire smoke is one possible contributor rather than the definition of AQHI.

Local map scope

A focused starting view, not a clipped dataset

This page starts the national FireRadar layer around Montreal. 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.

Related Montreal wildfire context

Smoke and air quality can change even when no confirmed wildfire is close to Montreal. Use the local wildfire page for current official incidents, the fire-danger page for broad fire-weather context, and the province view when you need a wider regional picture.
