a) Notice of Motion by Councillor Mullin regarding the Adverse Health Effects of Ambient Air Pollution to the Region of Peel
Whereas the Ontario Medical Association, in its 2005 report titled "The Illness Costs of Air Pollution", estimated that the annual adverse health impacts of air pollution in Ontario are responsible for 5,829 premature deaths, more than 16,800 hospitalizations, more than 59,700 emergency room visits and nearly 30,000,000 minor illnesses at a direct cost to the health system of more than $500 million, and 47 million lost days of employment worth billions of dollars;
And whereas, the Province of Ontario Ambient Air Quality Criteria (AAQC) are clearly not protective of the health of the population;
And whereas, the Ontario Ministry of Environment does not cap pollution levels in Ontario but continues to issue annually between 1,200 and 1,500 new Certificates of Approval authorizing more pollution;
And whereas, the Ontario Ministry of Environment Clarkson Airshed Study, released in November 2006, establishes pollution levels in south Mississauga and east Oakville for particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at levels 15 per cent greater than the provincial average and which they have described as a "taxed airshed";
And whereas, the Clarkson Airshed Study also found ambient air levels of the volatile organic compounds acrolein and acrylonitrile (mutagens and carcinogens listed on the hazardous substances list of the United States Department of Health) to be present in the Clarkson area in excess of the Canada-wide standard being set by Environment Canada for 2010;
And whereas, the Ontario Minister of Energy is proposing to locate three natural gas-fired electricity generating stations in south Mississauga with a total capacity of nearly 2,000 megawatts (MW), in addition to the 800 MW plant already being built in Brampton and the 670 MW plant to be developed in Halton County a few kilometres upwind of Meadowvale;
And whereas, natural gas-fired generating stations are major emitters of the criteria pollutants - sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (99 per cent of which is PM 2.5) as well as millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas accused of global warning;
And whereas, the former Medical Officer of Health for Peel Region, Dr. David McKeown, has said "Current air quality guidelines for NOx, SO2 and respirable particulates (PM 2.5) and ozone are insufficient to be protective of human health.";
And whereas, Dr. David Pengelly, one of Canada's leading air quality scientists has said, "The evidence is that for criteria pollutants in Ontario regulatory criteria or standards are not protective of the health of the population.";
Therefore be it resolved, that the Council of the Region of Peel request the Medical Officer of Health to prepare a report that addresses:
The adverse health effects of ambient air pollution on the people in Peel Region;
The additional adverse health impacts on people in Peel Region which will result from the location of natural gas-fired generating stations in Peel;
The standards for provincial air quality criteria that need to be established to protect human health;
The benefits to the people of Peel if the Ontario Ministry of the Environment developed a pollution reduction program with the following features:
A cap on our airshed pollution that protects human health,
Tougher pollution standards for all criteria pollutants,
Applicants for permits to pollute in the capped airshed be required to offset each of their proposed pollutants by 150% before their certificates are granted,
That applicants be required to install equipment and processes that produce the lowest achievable emission rates,
That applicants be required to minimize emissions by installing the best available control technologies,
A requirement in all Ministry of Environment Certificates of Approval for Air and Noise that the applicant commits to an annual program of continuous, measurable reduction of each pollutant emitted.
And further, that the Council of the Region of Peel request the Medical Officer of Health to prepare a report that recommends guidelines relating to human health which can aid municipal and regional councils when confronted with applications by pollution emitters to locate in their jurisdictions.
