About air quality warnings
An air quality warning is issued when pollutant concentrations approach or exceed predetermined limits, or when degraded-air-quality episodes are expected to continue or worsen.
Warnings are issued to:
- inform about degraded air quality
- help people make informed choices about reducing their exposure to elevated concentrations of air pollutants
- provide vulnerable individuals and the general public with health advice developed by BC health agencies
Warnings, other than those driven by wildfire smoke, serve as a trigger for emission reduction actions (such as industrial emissions or wood stove use) when specified by provincial waste discharge authorizations and local government bylaws.
