air pollution in Kamloops...no limit to their ignorance

typical day in Kamloops,... smoke plume rolling down the valley, its usually foggy or cloudy in the winter(not this year) corporations and Ministry of (Morons) Environment like to crank pollution up during winter with the excuse that its just clouds....yah clouds of death!

Just want to note that I am not trying to detract from your argument. There is no reason, with the technology at our disposal, for this sort of pollution. We need to make a switch not just to green energy, but away from petrol based products of all forms.

@hartling ...that grass land is designated 4X4 area, tree huggers would like it if the billions of recreational vehicles would simply disapear in to fairytale land, though its not going to happen, they should be pro(as in positive)active....we need more designated area's to 4X4. as for the air quality your a fucking sheaple...you believe that propaganda machine BC airquality BS? who the fuck are you to say its water vapor, are you a profesional? where's our test? PG's air test was kept from them

product of my society...at a young age motorsports is used as a passifier.I am adicted to speed and power thanks to TV, toys, soiciety...it does bug me that u can buy 400-600hp any where...

but I am trying,I sponsor a "take it to the track" to get street races off the street, the truck is on propane(much cleaner for environment), also developing hydrogen generators which increase power, gas milage, greatly reduces emmisions.

I don't drive a diesel (worst polluters)

not so obvious now is it?

@kaleihh AND it smelled like METAL in the air.

I drove through your town today, I got a headache in my lower temples, and saw the massive amounts of pollution pumped into the air. Dont get too sick living there!

@hartling...Wrong on the "water vapor". Here's a quote... "Entry of Terpenes into the atmosphere occurs by volatilization of hydrocarbons. These compounds react photochemically with OZONE, causing a blue haze. I would need 3000 words to describe the complete process, and how pulp mills downplay the importance of the above. Only DDT-Lindane, chlorine dioxide, and ozone are used to kill all micro organisms. how much ozone is in our air? Are mandatory TRUE Ozone reports made from the mill?

[frootloopsian]

Into the meat of it... Consider the presence of Elemental Chlorine, and what that can mean. Consider the first Patent filed for DDT, and the fact that DDT was created by simple mixing of Kraft pulping waste. The only issue was the creation of Hexachlorobenzene. That was difficult until the genius accidentally stumbled onto creating "Chloral" by condensing Chlorine and Sulfuric Acid. The Benzene/Fractional Crystallization was stumbled upon by placing it in sunlight, the Gamma Isomer. More later

Continued. OHSA /chlorine dioxide gives the best understandable information regarding human exposure. Pg. 9 states rules of mandatory respirator usage for workers exposed to >0.01 ppm. If you can smell chlorine, it's above that. Next, google Murphy's Law: Coming To A Pulp Mill Near You?-Holmes But there is more. No "on site" process for creating ClO(2) is Elemetal Chlorine free. Google Towards zero-effluent pulp and paper production. Pg 26-27 describe all methods, and amounts of Cl made.

Great work. The beginning comment can be addressed in this way. I have found that the worst discharges are released on Sundays. There have been days when the smell of Chlorine is so overpowering, that no one is outside in the Brock area where i live. Think about that Chlorine smell. The Mill doesn't use elemental chlorine any longer, so the smell is due to Chlorine Dioxide. That is truly bad stuff, and holds the same hazard ratings as DDT. You must check the US EPA for that info.

Is the air quality different in winter? cause you never see this winter time!
