Smokey Conditions Again But No Advisory

Monday, August 25, 2014 @ 11:10 AM

Prince George, B.C.-  Although there is no  Wildfire Smoke Advisory in effect,   the air in Prince George  does smell like someone just dumped  a bucket of water on a campfire.

At the Plaza 400 site  at 10 this morning, the  24 hour  rolling average for PM 2.5 (on which  Air Quality advisories are based)  was  at 14.5 micrograms per cubic metre.  That's well below the provincial target of 25 micrograms per cubic metre.

The 24 hour rolling average for PM10 was sitting at 24.3 micrograms per cubic metre,  with the  Provincial target being 50 micrograms per cubic metre.

One of the worst days we’ve had and no advisory. Why is the advisory not on until the smoke goes?

One of the worst days we’ve had? You must have been away and missed the many many very bad days we’ve had before today.

Who needs an advisory anyhow? You can see it and smell it.

I’ve been here. This has been one of the worst days breathing for me.

WELL I am smoking fish today and the air smells pretty good to me today!

Worst days? My butt! This is nothing compared to last week when it rained. Think some need to get out more.

I cannot believe there has been no advisory…the smoke was sooooo bad today that my daughter said it was making her cough and is worried about her lungs!

All these free bus ride days are adding up!
