Editor's Notes
- While doing archival research for another class, I stumbled across this image of Hamilton from a Hamilton Spectator special on air pollution report from 1984. The special report immediately struck me for the way in which it discussed air pollution as a multifaceted problem. In particular, it frequently cited the Air Pollution Index and numbers to describe the smog situation in Hamilton. Without context, these numbers felt to me like a arbitrary system and it made me question this type of quantification and its context within the air pollution problem in Hamilton.
- Three main points: Briefly, my paper will outline three main consequences of the Hamilton monitoring stations and the way that the implementation of measuring air pollution caused improvments or changes. Specifically, beginning aorund 1970 until the late 1980s, much imrpovment was made by the City of Hamilton and the Ontario Ministry of Environment to measure the air pollution. opened discourse on the causes and sources of pollution in Hamilton monitoring sources, causing change and control numbers creating a discourse for public action
