New Brunswick is breathing a little easier according to the release of the provincial air quality survey results. According to Environment Minister Bruce Fitch, the closure of some of the larger mills and the generating station on Grand Lake have made a significant improvement in the quality of the air we breathe.
He tells CHSJ News the main concern is that we become complacent when we see positive results–because we always have to keep moving forward.
The survey keeps an eye on carbon monoxide, acid rain,ground level ozone and a variety of other factors–and all the surveyed sites in New Brunswick conform to the Canada-wide standard.
