Smog Advisory
The Ministry of the Environment has issued a Smog Advisory. For regional details see: Current Smog Advisories.
Smog Watch
The Ministry of the Environment has issued a Smog Watch. For regional details see: Current Smog Watches.
Weather Summary: Issued on Friday, February 4, 2005
A high pressure ridge over southern and eastern Ontario is causing light winds and poor dispersion conditions and allowing air pollutants to accumulate and cause air quality indices in the moderate category during the next several days. Over northern and central regions with windier conditions, air quality indices are expected to remain generally in the good category.
A smog advisory is in effect for southern and eastern Ontario due to the possibility of air quality indices in the poor category in some locations during the next several days. |

What people dont realize is that the air has actual gotten cleaner DESPITE the increased warnings.
The difference is that the threshhold at which we declare a warning has decreased and we have changed the way we measure air quality. Thats the part that the scare tactic media wont tell you.
Its just like all those bogus winter storm warnings we get lately. |

my point is that the environment is already being cleaned up. All this is doing is driving up ratings. |

| No doubt we need to do more for the environment. But deception is not the way to do it. |

| Bloody gross... and yet, if someone has an asthma attack due to the smog, they'll probably drive to the hospital. |

| And Jay, the environment is not cleaned up. I looked out the window today and thought I saw smog before I heard about the smog warnings. Seeing smog = not a clean environment. |

But 30 years ago you would have seen a lot more smog coming from a smaller population. Its a documented fact.
I remember being on top of the oak ridges moraine 20 years ago and seeing a brown ring around Toronto EVERY day including winter. Now when im up there this only occurs on "smog warning" days. |
