Air Quality Advisory Ended For Prince George
Thursday, February 9, 2012 @ 9:39 AM
Prince George, BC – The city’s first air quality advisory of the year has been lifted, but the local Air Pollution Meteorologist is warning it may need to be re-issued.
Dennis Fudge says local readings for fine particulates are all within provincial air quality objectives this morning. He says the 24-hour rolling average for coarse particulates at the Plaza 400 monitoring station downtown was above the objective of 50 micrograms per cubic metre – it was 60 mg/m3 – but the hourly average this morning was under the limit.
However, Fudge says a stagnant high pressure ridge is expected to hang over the city for the next day or two, and that could lead to another build-up of particulate in the airshed.

Now that it’s over people can use their natural gas furnaces again and give their woodstoves a well deserved rest.
I guess we can all drive again and go to Timmies since most of this polution was cauused by road dust and idling of vehicles. I suspect there were more snow flies than road dust. Oh well, for sure it wouldn’t be indusrial polution.

The price and cost of natural gas going up again soon. Maybe the air quality folks can find a correlation (look up that word) between the cost of NG and air quality. Denote a trend? I do. And I don’t even need a chart. Solution? Free natural gas.
Camoose, you are gonna get duffed for the accidental double post!
