Air Quality Report for British Columbia: Fine Particulate (PM10) Levels (1990-1995)
July 1998

The Ministry of Environment has monitored PM10 levels at almost 100 sites in British Columbia since the mid-1980s. This report is the first overview of PM10 levels measured in various communities across the province. Fine particulates (PM10 and smaller) are considered the most important outdoor air pollutant in British Columbia today.
