This dataset makes historical air quality data accessible for various parameters at Calgary monitoring stations. The data is collected by the Calgary Region Airshed Zone and submitted to Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP). The data is delivered to the airdata warehouse, a central repository for Alberta's ambient air quality data via a web service provided by AEP. In this way, AEP provides access to quality controlled historical air quality data at its air quality stations.
In addition to air quality monitoring data, an Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is calculated hourly at certain monitoring stations. The AQHI is a simple way to interpret air quality conditions: it provides a number from 1 to 10+ which indicates the relative health risk associated with local air quality. The higher the number, the greater the health risk. Further information on the AQHI calculation is available at: https://www.alberta.ca/air-quality-health-index--calculation.aspx

This dataset makes historical air quality data accessible for various parameters at Calgary monitoring stations. The data is collected by the Calgary Regional Airshed and Alberta Environment and Parks groups. The data is collected via a web service provided by the Alberta Environmental Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting Agency (AEMERA). AEMERA provides access to historical air quality data at its air quality stations.

This dataset contains results for the City of Calgary's Watershed Monitoring Program. The program monitors surface water quality across a network of sites that include rivers, tributaries, and reservoirs within the Calgary region. Sampling locations have been added, removed, or modified over time. Grab sampling methodologies are used for sample collection.

The City of Calgary uses approved and documented analytical testing methodologies, and the City of Calgary laboratory is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. Quality Assurance programs track and ensure consistent laboratory performance. Changes in data over time, such as method detection limits, accredited testing parameters, and formatting are the result of newer analytical techniques and improved data quality standards.
