SPECIAL AIR QUALITY STATEMENT

Special Air Quality Statement in effect for:
  • Bulkley Valley

DUST ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR SMITHERS (April 02, 2025 10:00 AM) The Ministry of Environment and Parks in collaboration with the Northern Health Authority has issued a Dust Advisory for Smithers because of high concentrations of coarse particulate matter that are expected to persist until there is precipitation, dust suppression or a change in traffic patterns. Levels tend to be highest around busy roads and industrial operations. This advisory is in effect until further notice. Exposure is particularly a concern for individuals with chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes; respiratory infections such as COVID-19, pregnant women, infants, and older adults. Persons with chronic underlying medical conditions or acute infections should postpone or reduce strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted. Where appropriate, maintain physical distancing. Anyone experiencing symptoms such as continuing eye or throat irritation, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cough or wheezing, should follow the advice of their health care provider. Staying indoors helps to reduce exposure. Real-time air quality observations and information regarding the health effects of air pollution can be found at https://www.gov.bc.ca/airquality.
