LETTER — Re: The Ajax Project – The Conversation.

Scene from Ajax video.

Unfortunate use of child running in the park image. With the approximately 2,335 tonnes of pm2.5, and 6,251 tonnes of pm10, potential emissions that New Gold and Ajax operations combined could be belching into Kamloops’ airshed, seems unlikely that kids will be able to run outdoors at all, without risking damage to their developing lungs.
