Please join us by submitting an entry. Don't worry, your video doesn't have to look like it was made by a crack professional. Funny is good enough! The deadline is December 3d and the ten best films will earn a spot on the big screen at the Grand Cinema, Elements Mall, on Dec. 10. Click here to join the contest now!

Year-on-year (YOY) API comparisons for September, October and November
In light of recent days' roadside API being constantly over 100, CAN did a YOY comparison of exceedances at all monitoring stations. We observed that, although Oct 2010 was better than last year, September and November 2010 (up to November 14) were MUCH worse, especially at the roadside. For example, this November, the average API of Central Roadside was 115 compared to 85 for the same period last year. Furthermore, in November, there were 2 to 6 times more days with exceedances at all roadside stations. Click here to see the full table. |
