B.C. Air Quality

Speciation Monitoring and Source Apportionment in Golden, B.C. (2004-2007): Poster Summary

This two-year study is being carried out in Golden B.C. to identify the sources of air pollutants and their relative contributions to air pollution in the region. Source apportionment is the process of identifying where each pollutant comes from (e.g., motor vehicles, industries) and finding out how much is being released into the air. (See An Air Emissions Inventory for Golden for an initial inventory.)
