Air Quality

Metro Vancouver monitors air quality in the region, controls industrial, commercial and some residential emissions, creates long-term plans and compiles emission inventories. In addition, Metro Vancouver, the B.C. Government and many local governments are also taking a leadership role by setting targets and implementing programs to reduce climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions.


	New Vehicle Will Help Protect our Air Quality Metro Vancouver has a new Mobile Air Quality Unit (MAMU)! MAMU will help us assess air quality throughout our region and measure the impact of emission sources in neighbourhoods. Check out our media release and video to learn more.
	New Caring for the Air Report Check out our latest issue of Caring for the Air to learn about the “state of the air” in the Lower Mainland, as well as our most pressing air quality and climate change issues such as diesel particulate matter, greenhouse gas emissions and visual air quality.
	Older Trucks Create the Most Diesel Pollution on Metro Vancouver Roads Metro Vancouver studied air emissions from diesel trucks and buses in our region and found that older vehicles are dirtier than newer vehicles. We also found gross emitters that emitted many times more pollution than their same-age counterparts. Check out our media release, video or read the full report to learn more.
