Air pollution woes continue, but ECan rules out return of smoke spotters

ECan general manager regulatory services, Judith Earl-Goulet, said the number of high pollution nights in Timaru had been reducing over the past 20 years through the efforts of the community, and “we hope that number will continue to decline”. According to figures provided by ECan, Timaru recorded 57 high pollution nights in 2001, 37 in 2002, 56 in 2003, 45 in 2004, 51 in 2005, 39 in 2006 and 2007, 41 in 2008, 37 in 2009, 41 in 2010, 29 in 2011, 33 in 2012, 30 in 2013, 42 in 2014, 26 in 2015, 27 in 2016, 17 in 2017, eight in 2018, 12 in 2019 and 10 in 2020. “More specifically, we respond to smokey chimney complaints and provide information and advice on better burning through our region-wide campaign,” Earl-Goulet said. “This winter campaign aims to teach Cantabrians how to burn smoke-free at home, so we can all breathe cleaner air. The two main focuses are on better burning technique and using dry, well-seasoned wood.
