Special Air Quality Statement |
| Detailed Description |
Air quality and visibility due to wildfire smoke can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour. People more likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke, including people aged 65 and older, pregnant people, infants and young children, people with an existing illness or chronic health condition, and people who work outdoors, should avoid strenuous activities outdoors and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms. ### As smoke levels increase, health risks increase. Limit time outdoors. Consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities and events. You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance. For more information please visit Alberta Health Services at https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/news/air.aspx.
