Air quality in British Columbia is a major concern due to the prevalence of industrial pollution and traffic pollution from tailpipe emissions, as well as B.C. wildfires during warmer weather.
Harmful pollutants are released into the air, such as particulate matter PM2.5 and PM1, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide. These pollutants can cause respiratory problems and other health issues.
For all your air filter and HVAC needs in Vancouver, the Kootenays, Okanogan Valley, Surrey, Kelowna, Fraser Valley, all over British Columbia and around the world, Camfil is here to help.

What are some air quality concerns in British Columbia?
Microscopic particles can be found in fumes from factories and production facilities, exhaust from vehicles, from the smoke wildfires produce, or from other sources.
· PM2.5 includes particles that are smaller than 2.5 microns
· PM1 includes particles that are less than 1μm in size and are considered to be the most harmful to human health
· PM2.5 and PM1 particles can penetrate British Columbians’ lungs and bloodstreams and have negative health implications
· Nitrogen oxide, gaseous hydrocarbons, ozone, and gaseous pollutants can lead to a variety of health problems ranging from brief eye burning to chronic heart difficulties and lung damage
· Pollutants are drawn into a building through an HVAC ventilation system lacking proper filtration and can spread throughout the facility, putting at risk human health and machinery and equipment
· In hospitals, outpatient, or residential care facilities, patients and visitors are especially vulnerable to these contaminants
· Particulate and odours from smoke can linger and cause a drop-off in learning and productivity in schools and commercial buildings
· Sensitive equipment and products being manufactured such as microelectronic parts or food and beverages can be damaged or destroyed
What can we do about air quality and improving air filtration in British Columbia?
One strategy to mitigate the risks that come with poor indoor air quality is to utilize a combination of carbon or other molecular air filtration to control odour and gas contaminants and high efficiency air filters for PM2.5 or PM1 pollutants. This approach can help create and maintain healthy indoor air quality and protect the health of occupants. Additionally, regular maintenance and replacement of filters is important to ensure their effectiveness in filtering out particulates and harmful gases.
