Local Air Quality Study Results (2011) - South Riverdale, Leslieville and Beaches
In July 2005, the Toronto Board of Health requested that the City examine the air quality impact of emissions from all sources of air pollution in the South Riverdale-Leslieville-Beaches (SRLB) area of Toronto (i.e. Ward 30 and Ward 32). Thirty key air pollutants were included in the scope of the study, which identified emissions from various sources including industrial, commercial, residential, agricultural, natural, and transportation-related emissions.
The study concludes that the concentrations of most substances in the SRLB area meet provincial air quality standards and that overall, a focus on transportation-related emissions will be key to reducing pollution in the area.
Public Meeting
A Public Meeting was held on October 18, 2011 to provide information on the results of the study.
