The readings for fine particulate matter in the air has been almost double the provincial objective in Quesnel over the past 24 hours. As a result of that, as well as some other considerations, the Ministry of Environment and Parks, in collaboration with Northern Health, has issued an Air Quality Warning. Gail Roth, a Senior Air Quality Meteorologist, says you may see some improvement at times but overall it still remains high. However, she says it was as high as 50 at around 7 o’clock last (Sunday) night. Exposure to fine particulate matter is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly, those who are pregnant, and individuals with chronic conditions such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, and diabetes.
