Pulp and Paper Pollution
The pulp and paper industry has played a central role in Port Alberni since 1947. Catalyst Paper Corporation currently employs 280 people here and is a leading producer of telephone directory and lightweight coated papers for publishers and commercial printers throughout North America, South America, and Asia. www.catalystpaper.com/about/our-facilities/port-alberni Historty of Operations History of Air Quality Improvements Pollution Permitting Emissions Reporting Dioxins Pulp and Paper Toxic Emissions Burning Wet Salty Hog Burning Tire Derived Fuel Effluent Treatment Sludge Landfill Containment of Hazardous Waste
Vehicle Exhaust Pollution
In large cities across the country, ozone and nitrous oxides from vehicle emissions rise to the top of air quality concerns and take their place with the general particulate matter category. Vehicle exhaust is full of extremely tiny toxic particles. During poor venting days, especially in the summer, you can see this pollution as a dense brown haze. Forty percent of the PM in that haze is from vehicles. In Port Alberni, as in many communities, emissions from trucks and cars are the largest contributor, by far, to toxic nitrous oxide pollution. They are also significant contributors to hazardous air pollutants and carcinogens such as benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3 butadiene, and diesel particulate matter. Exhaust is a complex cocktail of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides, nitrous oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To make matter worse, when it's warm and sunny, the NOx and VOCs react chemically making ground level ozone, yet another damaging toxin.
