Toronto's Air Pollution Map

NHALE is the first community air monitoring project in Canada. Jointly led by Environment Hamilton and Toronto Environmental Alliance with funding from Metcalf Foundation, this project puts local air quality monitoring into the hands of community members. Read more about the project.

Local Community Air Tracker volunteers are gathering data on fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) using easy-to-operate mobile air particulate monitoring equipment that can be attached to backpacks, bikes, baby strollers, walkers or scooters. This data is being mapped out here so it is easily accessible to the entire community.

Reading the map
Coloured squares: The air quality samples gathered by INHALE volunteers are clustered and displayed on the map as squares. Colours are based on an average of the samples collected in a particular area. The colours range from green to dark red, indicating low to high particulate levels measured in the a.. ir.

As more samples are collected, areas with chronically poor air quality will be revealed. Click on a square to see more details about the data samples and when they were collected.

Coloured circles: The Province of Ontario operates a small number of air monitoring stations that collect data used to calculate the Air Quality Health Index. The current air quality measurement (ug/m3) for Particulate Matter 2.5 is displayed in the circles on the INHALE map.

Find cities with similar climate

This map has been created using The Global environmental stratification. The Global environmental stratification (GEnS), based on statistical clustering of bioclimate data (WorldClim). GEnS, consists of 125 strata, which have been aggregated into 18 global environmental zones (labeled A to R) based on the dendrogram.

The Appalachian Mountains, the Scottish Highlands, and the Atlas Mounts in Africa were the same mountain range

The Central Pangean Mountains was a prominent mountain ridge in the central part of the supercontinent Pangaea that extends across the continent from northeast to southwest through the Carboniferous , Permian Triassic periods. The mountains were formed due to a collision within the supercontinents Gondwana and Laurussia during the creation of Pangaea. It was comparable to the present Himalayas at its highest peak during the start of the Permian period. It isn’t easy to assume now that once upon a time that the Scottish Highlands, The Appalachian Mountains, the Ouachita Mountain Range, and the Atlas Mountains in northwestern Africa are the same mountains , once connected as the Central Pangean Mountains.

Moose population in North America

The moose population in North America is shrinking swiftly. This decrease has been correlated to the opening of roadways and landscapes into this animal's north range. In North America, the moose range includes almost all of Canada and Alaska, the northern part of New England and New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Isle Royale. In 2014-2015, the North American moose population was measured at around one million animals. The most abundant moose population (about 700,000) lives in Canada. About 300 000 moose remains in nineteen U.S. states Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The largest moose specimens are found in Alaska 200 thousand moose. Below the map shows the size of US states scaled by the moose population. Via www.vividmaps.com
