The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 22, 2002 - A7 Smog Forum hopes to clear the air June 3 Oakville residents can learn more about pollution and participate in a brain storming session to improve air quality in Halton on June 3. The Halton Partners for Clean Air is sponsoring Halton's first Citizens' Smog Forum in conjunction with the GTA Smog Summit. The forum is from 7-9:30 p.m. at the Halton Regional Administration Centre, 1151 Bronte Rd. Residents will hear speak ers discuss smog issues and work in small groups to dis cuss solutions to improve air quality in the area. Solutions generated at the Halton Forum and at five other Citizens' Smog Forums held across the GTA will be submitted to the GTA Smog Summit on June 21 at the CN Tower. The GTA Smog Summit includes representatives from the federal, provincial and municipal governments. "The local C itizens' Smog Forums are new this year and aim to raise aware ness about local air quality issues as well as promoting the annual GTA Smog Summit. We are very pleased to host Halton's first Forum," said Peter Willmott, chair of the Halton Partners for Clean Air. The Halton Partners for Clean Air is a group of pub lic sector organizations charged with implementing the Halton Public Sector Smog Response Plan. Over the last three years, the 12 partners have worked together to improve air qual ity by working on solutions they can implement within their workplaces to improve air quality. This year, the partners are moving towards building community aware ness and stewardship -- sponsoring the C itizens' Smog Forum is a step in that direction. A recent Halton Region Health Department report, "Illness from Air Pollution- A Halton Perspective", stated that the annual cost in Ontario from pollution relat ed illnesses is more than $1 billion. Based on 2000 data, the total economic cost of pollution to Halton is $290 million. In addition, the cost to our health due to poor air quality is severe -- 55 pre mature deaths, 400 hospital admissions and 1,425 emer gency room visits. "Poor air quality is a con cern for everyone," said Dr. Bob Nosal, Medical Officer of Health, Halton Region Health Department. "Children and seniors are most susceptible, but smog also harms healthy adults," he added. To make your actions count, register for the Citizen's Smog Forum and participate in the working groups. Space is limited so participants must pre-register by calling 905-825-6000, ext. 7261.

In rare cases the illness may be more serious and cause encephali tis (brain inflammation). There is no specific treatment and no vaccine. People are being advised to take precautions against mosquitoes and their bites. Mosquitoes need water to breed and even a small amount of standing water will suffice. Eggs and larvae can develop in water that is allowed to stand for four days or more. Some tips for personal protection: · When outdoors in early evening to morning, when mosquitoes are most active, wear light-coloured long sleeved shirts and long pants with fabric thick enough to prevent bites plus socks and shoes. · If insect repellent is used, make sure it contains DEET. However, this is not recommended for use by infants under six months of age. Adhere to all label pre cautions, especially when dealing with children. · Make sure window and door screens fit tightly and do not have holes. If there are no screens, keep doors and win dows closed from early evening until dawn. Residents can help reduce breeding sites by: · Remove or change all standing water around your home by turning over or removing containers that hold water. · Don't let water, like that in bird baths, to stand for more than four days. · Remove or drain stand ing water from containers such as flower pots, wheel barrows, children's toys, dis carded tires or tin cans. · Immediately remove any water collected on pool cov ers and turn over wading pools when not in use. · Ensure your pool pump is circulating water properly. · Aerate ornamental ponds and stock with fish that eat mosquito larvae. · Keep eaves and gutters clear of debris so water won't accumulate and check flat roofs for standing water. Make sure drainage ditches are not clogged. · Immediately throw away lawn cuttings, raked leaves and other decaying items such as apples or berries in sealed garbage bags. · Turn over compost piles on a regular basis. · Fill in any low depres sion areas in lawns. · If possible, remove dense shrubbery where mos quitoes breed and rest. · Let neighbours know about potential breeding areas on their properties.
