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.
