B.C. Environment issued an air quality advisory Thursday because of high levels of fine particulate air pollution in the Prince George airshed, a result of forest fires, and industry and transportation emissions.
The provincial air quality objective for the smallest fine particles, 2.5 microns or smaller, were exceeded. The 24-hour rolling average for PM2.5 was 35 micrograms per cubic metre downtown and 31 in College Heights, higher than the 25 microgram per cubic metre provincial advisory standard.
