Description

The wood waste burner operated by Tolko forest Products is located within the town limits of High Level. The current study investigates the quality of air in the area with a special focus on particulate matter. Although a wide size range of particles can be emitted by wood burning, the current study focused on concentrations of fine particulate matter. The concentration of particulate matter was monitored at one location for five and a half months, beginning in October 2008. In addition, the department's mobile laboratory was used to monitor a suite of gases and particles at various sites in and near the town. This was performed on two days at the start of the study.
