Prince George, B.C.- The Air quality advisory  remains in effect until at least 9:30 tomorrow morning.

Based on the air quality data, the high levels in the past 24 hours were mainly due to combustion emissions (smoke) and some contribution from road dust. Particulate levels are expected to be lower overnight, but there is a slight possibility of a few hours of elevated levels this evening mainly due to dust.

The 24 hour PM2.5 rolling average was 31 µg/m3 at the Plaza 400 downtown site at 9:00 am and 19 µg/m3 at College Heights. The 24 hour PM10 rolling average was 61 µg/m3 at the Plaza 400 downtown, 58 µg/m3 at BCR and 43 µg/m3 at College Heights. This Air Quality Advisory is expected to be in effect until tomorrow morning, with an update to be provided tomorrow morning at 9:30 am.

It was simply terrible out there today. The smell wasn't much of an issue, but the air was downright gritty.
yeah it is always comforting (not!) to be able to chew the air.
Flavoured smog. Something just has to be done about all that road dust. LOL
