Best practices for improving air quality in ice arenas

Best practices for improving air quality in ice arenas Resurfacers and edgers used to maintain the ice surface in these arenas are typically powered by internal combustion engines, which emit air pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), both of which are associated with adverse health effects. Recommendations for reducing the levels of air pollution in arenas can provide a framework for minimizing the risk of health effects for people using ice arenas, including vulnerable populations. 2024-06-05 Health Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Health and SafetyBest practicesarenasimproving air-qualityair-quality in ice-arenasresurfacers and edgersice surfaceinternal combustion enginesemit air pollutantscarbon monoxidenitrogen dioxideadverse health effectsreducing levels-of-air-pollutionminimizing the risk-of-health-effects Best practices for improving air quality in ice arenasHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/publications/healthy-living/factsheet-improving-air-quality-ice-arenas.html#aapp Best practices for improving air quality in ice arenasHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/publications/vie-saine/fiche-renseignements-amelioration-qualite-air-arenas.html
