Will railway-tie plant give off nanoparticles?

Abstract:
The application for a Ministry of Environment permit to install a gasification plant on Mission Flats touched off a public debate that has been waged for the past several months.

Approval of that permit early this month has heightened the debate, with opponents expressing concerns for the health of our community.

A common thread in the controversy is that people believe they don't have enough information to express an informed opinion. They say there are many questions and not enough answers.
