Meteorological Service of Canada Launches Innovation Challenge: What’s your design for our Air Quality Health Index?

The Health and Air Quality Services Program is responsible for communicating and forecasting weather related health risks to Canadians. This currently includes air quality from both industrial and natural sources (forest fires). The AQHI is a health risk based index that represents increasing health risk from the cumulative effect of three pollutants on a scale of 1 to 10. The individual values of the pollutants are not reported, only the index number. in the rare case where concentrations of pollutants are extremely high, and the index number is greater than 10, the value of the index is reported as 10+.

MindSumo hosts challenges for Meteorological Service of Canada and over 250 other companies to help generate unique ideas and insights from a community of over 300K US college students.
