The Province of Ontario has released standards around cumulative emissions for public comment. The new proposed policy applies to air emissions of benzene and benzo[a]pyrene in the Hamilton/Burlington area and benzene in the Sarnia/Corunna area. The intent of this proposal is to strengthen and clarify the consideration of cumulative effects when making decisions related to environmental compliance approvals (ECAs) for activities governed by section 9 of the Ontario Environmen...tal Protection Act (EPA). The proposal can be found posted on the EBR registry. Policy proposal notice #013-1680 on the Environmental Registry for Cumulative Effects Assessment (CEA) in air approvals: https://www.ebr.gov.on.ca/ERS-WEB-/displaynoticecontent.do The proposal notice has been posted for a 90 day comment period. Comments will be accepted from November 9, 2017 until February 7, 2018. You can comment through the EBR posting.

University of Toronto researchers have found that students who spend time around designated pick-up zones end up breathing elevated levels of pollution from idling cars nearby. The halo of air pollution around these zones even extends to playground areas situated close by, regardless of whether the school is in a rural, urban or suburban area. Green Venture, in partnership with Corr Research, funded by Clean Air Hamilton will be offering "Fresh Air for Kids" air quality education programs at five Hamilton schools this fall and winter, with anti-idling blitzes and mobile air monitoring on routes to school. greenventure.ca/schools/otherprograms/freshair/
