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
• PM10
Note:
– 73% Open Sources/Road Dust, 18% Industry
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.
