The Crofton Airshed Citizens Group of British Columbia
.....Here to help preserve our shared atmosphere by encouraging sound environmental practices that reduce emissions.....
Each day approximately 25 million
cubic meters of exhaust gases leave the Crofton paper mill, carrying
with them roughly 1500 kg of fine particulate matter, 4500 kg of
sulphur dioxide, 2500 kg of volatile organic compounds, 2500 kg of
methanol, 1000 kg of hydrochloric acid, etc. The plume also contains
some of the most dangerous substances known to life: dioxins and
furans, chlorine dioxide, formaldehyde, lead, and hexavalent chromium.
