PRINCE GEORGE – The City is pulling together a new air emission inventory. The last was was done in 2010 and was based on 2005 data.
“The airshed has changed a lot in the last ten to fifteen years,” says Andrea Byrne, Environmental Assistant with the City, “Industry has made a lot of technological changes that has improved their emissions.”
The City is working with Northern Health and Peter Jackson with the Environmental Sciences Department at UNBC.
“An air quality inventory is really like a list of all the air pollutants that are going into the air, when it’s going into the air, how much is going into the air and how much is going into the air,” explains Jackson. “And it also details how high it’s being emitted, what the temperature of the emission is. That sort of thing.”
