Hamilton air pollution

[projekktor id=’25807′]

Hamilton continues to have the worst air pollution in the province according to a new study by Cancer Care Ontario. Volunteers like Jochen Bezner have been walking the streets tracking the air pollution for Environment Hamilton. They’re scanning for what’s known as fine particular matter, solid particles in the air that are so small you can’t see them but are breathing them in. The pollution can come from industry, cars or anything that burns.

Environment Hamilton is encouraging people to take part in the city’s free tree planting program to help reduce the amount of pollution in the air.
