dnota bets on international growth and installs bettair nodes in Canada<\/h5>\n

To monitor air quality in #Canada, dnota<\/a> installs bettair<\/a> nodes in Canada, in the Val d’Or and Rouyn-Noranda areas. This initiative has been possible thanks to the collaboration of H2Lab<\/a>. The Val d’Or area in Canada is known for being an #industrial region dedicated to the exploitation of #minerals, especially #gold. Rouyn-Noranda is also a mining town located in the Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue region of #Quebec and is famous for its active and abandoned gold mines. The town was founded in 1920, thanks to the discovery of gold and currently has several operating mines. The area surrounding Rouyn-Noranda is rich in #forests and #lakes, making it an excellent destination for outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing and canoeing.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Quebec to move 200 homes away from the Horne smelter in Rouyn-Noranda<\/h5>\n

Last March 15, news broke<\/a> of the relocation of some 200 homes away from the Horne smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, north of the Notre-Dame district. The Quebec government plans to spend $85 million on the relocation. The reason would be that Glencore, a copper smelter. That function would be responsible for the demolition of some 80 buildings to create a new buffer zone around the factory, which produces arsenic fumes and other pollutants.<\/p>\n

The province will use the occasion to present the smelter’s next pollutant emissions targets, which are expected to reach a maximum arsenic emissions limit of 15 nanograms (ng) per cubic meter (m3) within five years. But the company will also have to adopt a long-term plan to reach the provincial standard of three ng\/m3.<\/p>\n<\/div>
