What is public health's role in air quality?
Southwestern Public Health works with provincial and community partners to identify and mitigate air quality issues. We also provide air quality education to the public, respond to complaints and advocate for healthy public policy.
A public health inspector can assess your concerns to see if a health hazard is present. If Southwestern Public Health is not the best agency to help you with your concerns, we can help direct you to the most appropriate agency for assistance.
To speak to a Public Health Inspector about health hazards contact the health unit at 1-800-922-0096.
Please note: Public Health inspectors do not make site visits for all calls. The Public Health Inspector will conduct a risk assessment based on the situation. If a site visit is not indicated the Public Health Inspector will still provide you with further information to assist you.
