Description

Degree days are a measurement of heat accumulation. For the purpose of this report, Degree days are calculated by subtracting the threshold temperature for West Nile Virus development (14.3 degrees celcius) from the daily mean temperature. Calculating the cumulative degree days over a season can be used to estimate the risk of transmission of the West Nile Virus by mosquitoes in Alberta. The risk of transmission increases with increasing degree day accumulation. Updated every two weeks during the West Nile Virus season.

Description

This report summarizes the results of the second year of an ongoing community exposure and health effects assessment program undertaken in the Wood Buffalo region of north eastern Alberta. While the Wood Buffalo region enjoys good air quality most of the time, increased industrial activity and subsequent population growth has raised people's awareness about air quality and quality of life in the region. In response to this, the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) has established a Human Exposure Monitoring Program (HEMP) in the Wood Buffalo region. Supported by scientific and technical assistance from Alberta Health and Wellness, the monitoring results for 2006 are presented in this report.
