What We’d Expect to See (National Pollutant Release Inventory) Carbon Monoxide – 66% Transportation, 23% Industry Sulphur Dioxide – 92% Industry, 5% Transportation Nitrogen Oxides – 57% Transportation, 37% Industry PM 10 – 73% Open Sources/Road Dust, 18% Industry Note: MOE identified trackout/road dust resuspension as a major problem

Conclusions Survey for only short time period, in winter season, limited to specific areas. High levels of Airborne Particle Pollution due to Trackout/Resuspension were observed in 18 locations. 14 specific sources were identified. Resuspended Road Dust and Fugitive Emissions are very significant sources of Airborne Particle Pollution in Hamilton.
