More Air Quality Information Now Available

Residents, governments and industries in the Fort Saskatchewan area now have more information about their outdoor air quality. A just-released report includes details of 148 air quality samples taken on 29 days between September 12, 2004 and February 27, 2005. "So far, this program is living up to our expectations," said Fort Air Partnership Chair Keith Purves. "It's giving us valuable information about volatile organic compound concentrations in our airshed and how they are affected by our local weather conditions. We've also been able to compare our local findings with findings from other Canadian cities and with the Ontario Ambient Air Quality Criteria, which provide the best available Canadian benchmarks."
