The purpose of Health Protection Air Quality By-law 2010-035 is to protect the health of Oakville residents from the negative effects of fine particulate matter that measures 2.5 microns or less in aerodynamic mass diameter (fine PM) by collecting information on emissions from facilities within Oakville and implementing regulatory controls for "major emitters" as defined in the by-law.
An initial draft of the by-law was proposed at a special meeting of Council on December 22, 2009, and released for public review and comment. Council adopted the by-law in its current form on February 1, 2010.
