Air Quality & Health Steering Committee
The BC Lung Association’s Air Quality and Health Committee is a multi-agency committee comprising representatives of the Ministry of Environment, Environment Canada, Health Canada, the Ministry of Health, the Greater Vancouver Regional District, the Fraser Valley Regional District, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.
The Committee was formed to promote an understanding of the effects or air pollution on health, the environment and the economy.
Through research, education and public awareness campaigns, the Committee aims to develop tools and inform policies that will reduce the impact of air pollution on human health, ecosystems and visibility in BC.
