Abstract:
The Lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada has experienced an evolution of ozone air pollution not unlike that seen in many western, industrialized cities. I will explain the sources and origin and effects of ozone air pollution, with emphasis on the LFV. I will show how air pollution in this region has changed in response to changing emissions, and how this change has been detected, and studied. I will provide a perspective on a the evolution of ozone air pollution in the LFV over the past two decades, and will attempt to look ahead into the future of ozone air quality in the LFV.
