SPECIAL AIR QUALITY STATEMENT FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA
UPDATED JOINTLY BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA AND METRO VANCOUVER AND THE
B.C. MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
AT 5:05 PM PST TUESDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL AIR QUALITY STATEMENT FOR:
=NEW= PRINCE GEORGE
      CARIBOO - NORTH INCLUDING QUESNEL.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
==DISCUSSION==
The Ministry of Environment has issued an Air Quality Advisory for
Prince George due to high concentrations of fine
particulates and dust. An advisory also remains in effect for Quesnel.

Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions should postpone
strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Staying indoors and
in air conditioned spaces helps to reduce fine particulate exposure.
Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those
who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

Open burning restrictions are now in effect for Quesnel and Prince
George.
