Precautionary air quality advisory lifted in Alberta

EDMONTON – Alberta Health Services (AHS) has lifted the precautionary air quality advisory issued August 8 throughout Alberta, due to wildfires burning in a number of locations in the province.

Wildfires that variably impacted air quality in Alberta, are no longer a threat to air quality at this time.

Though forecasting suggests improved air quality conditions will be sustained, Albertans are reminded that air quality can vary with weather conditions and prevailing winds at any time of the year.

Information about the air quality in many areas of Alberta is updated hourly on the Alberta Environment and Parks Air Quality website: http://airquality.alberta.ca
