Identifying and Addressing Pollution:
 
 Identifying and addressing pollution is a very important action. Pollution Logs can be used to record your experiences in your neighbourhood or at your home. Keeping a log of what you encounter is one way to collect evidence the polluter cannot deny. 
 
POLLUTION LOG - Click to download.
 
If you see visible emissions coming from a stack (not steam but discolored discharges of a black, brown, green, yellow, or orangey-red colour), it is likely that the stack emission that you are viewing is exceeding provincial air quality regulations.
 
If you see visible stack smoke, please take the time to call in the incident to the provincial Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Be prepared to indicate the following with regards to emission:

  • Time of day
  • Wind direction
  • Discharging Stack (refer to key on the About AM-Dofasco page)

 
 
Contact the Ministry of the Environment to report emissions and pollution:
