Air pollution
B.C. pollution tests kept under wraps
Extreme levels of a toxic chemical were found in air samples from a Prince George, B.C., neighbourhood more than 18 months ago, but the community still has not been told of the danger, CBC News has learned.Tests performed in the Millar Addition neighbourhood showed formaldehyde levels more than 18 times the acceptable level.
The Environment Ministry gathered the air samples in Prince George in July and August 2008 after years of complaints from residents about bad smells.
