I live near a pulp mill on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Though 90 million was recently put into pollution controls, we still suffer with poor air quality and ash fallout from the boilers that contaminates the surrounding areas' soil with dioxins and furans. Tourists are disgusted with the visual and air pollution and the food produced on soils has never been examined for dioxin contamination. To save the industry money in its waste management, the toxic sludge and fly ash from the pollution controls is now being landspread on public farm, forest and watershed lands throughout BC completely unregulated by our government.
