Unteresting that our former Mayor was fond of saying the smell was "the smell of money". Thank god we now have a city council that is interested in the health of the citizens verses the health of corporate bank accounts.

It is the smell of money, get real and used to it cause it's not going away.

I am sorry but...I do not believe for one minute that the mayor and his council did not know about this. Spin it how you like. We have everyone making excuses claiming ignorance and meanwhile we are still breathing this crap. Some council members sit on the PGair and we know that they knew since June. Then again so do people from the pulp mills and Husky Oil. I see a big broom coming to sweep this under some carpet with the hopes that we all forget and shut up. Yes, the smell of money alright and we have all also heard “Money is the route of all evil”. My motto is, if it smells like crap then it is crap.

What is the acceptable level of formaldehyde. Who sets the acceptable level. Does WHO has a world standard?

Same as the air quality analysis. It has removed itself from test results, but has placed it all on a scale of 1 to 10. Just like they do a potential of a forest fire.

We get all these people flailing their arms around and nobody has the facts.

It is the smell of money .... just that everyone has assumed that it is the smell of money coming into the city when it is actually the smell of money staying away from the city and the smell of money going into the health care system when it should not have to.

"Some council members sit on the PGair and we know that they knew since June"

Please name at least one .......

Well, that was good thing I had a battery pack.

Industry may have caused 15 or 20 percent, but generally, I would have to say it is people living their lives with chemical cleaners and carbon consuming that is pumping in the formaldehyde. But they will concentrate 80% of their effort on the industry to pick up 10% reduction, but if they put the effort on the peoples life style they can reduce 40% of the formaldehyde.

Get the Air Care to PG if your really serious about the issue.

Stop using so much chemicals to clean everything, Whats wrong with water and elbow grease. We live in such a germ fear world. We do not have to kill every germ to live healthy. We do not have to bleach down everything every day in our homes. We probably do more harm by trying to kill everything, this I blame the media, with their advertising of white, sterile images of how it should be. Take a child that grew up in a household with no germs, and then send him to kindergarden. He has not built up any immune system. Mother nature wants us to pick up germs so that we have the ability to fight it naturally. Our bodies does not genetically make our selves immune to infections, we have to build it up.

All three of these sites including the PGair site CLEARLY state that there are city council members on this board. If you want to know exactly who they are, feel free to look it up.

The Mayor is protecting his friends,making excuses.Prince George,you have a problem,and it starts with public officials protecting industry.

Look how other large towns don`t have the problem,cleaning solutions,funeral parlours, rotting plants..Yea right..

Rotten politicians feeding at the trough!

Municca, I know who is on the PGAIR Board. There are tow representatives from the City of PG. Neither are politicians. They are both from the administration.

Here is a set of minutes from January 2009 which shows who was on it at that time.

http://www.pgairquality.com/files/pdf/minutes/Minutes-PGAIR-2009-02-24.pdf

The City reps are Dan Adamson and Jocelyn White.

The PGAIR site states there are two members from the City on the Board.

You are the one who said on the previous Opinion 250 story that there are council members on the board. You were wrong then and you are wrong now. Two wrongs do not make a right.... :-)

There is nothing in the Free Press report that says that there are City Councillors on the Board either ......

Ohhhh well that didnt take him long to respond.
