Environnement Canada et le ministère de l'Environnement de l'Ontario surveillent la qualité de l'air dans la province. Une alerte au smog est émise lorsque les concentrations moyennes d’ozone des basses couches de l'atmosphère observées en une heure risquent de dépasser le seuil de quatre-vingt parties par milliard. En général, l'émission d’une alerte au smog précède d’une journée l'épisode prévu de pollution atmosphérique, ce qui laisse aux citoyens le temps de prendre les précautions sanitaires qui s’imposent et de diminuer leur production de polluants atmosphériques. 2, record 1, French, - alerte%20au%20smog
