Prince George, B.C. – There is an air quality advisory in effect for Prince George. That means, there will be no open burning, wood burning, street or parking lot sweeping.
The 24 hour PM2.5 rolling average was 32 µg/m3 at the Plaza 400 downtown site and 23 µg/m3 at College Heights at 8:00 am. The 24 hour PM10 rolling average was 45 µg/m3 at the Plaza 400 downtown, 32 µg/m3 at BCR and 31 µg/m3 at College Heights.
Based on the air quality data, the high levels are mainly due to combustion emissions (smoke). Very dry stagnant conditions over the region resulted in particulates accumulating in the air shed.
This Air Quality Advisory is expected to be in effect until further notice, with an update to be provided this afternoon at 4:30 pm.
