A Spatial Model of Urban Winter Woodsmoke Concentrations. The objective of this study is to develop a spatial model of ambient woodsmoke levels in the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) and the Capital Regional District CRD) of British Columbia. Please see the Presentations 2006 page for detailed information on this study.

Uses of Spatial Property Assessment Data for Air Pollution Exposure Assessment and Epidemiological Analyses. For more information on this study please see the page titled Geodatabase in this website.
