Air Emissions Permit for Fire Sprinkler Manufacturer in Mississauga
Official title: NATIONAL FIRE FABRICATION LIMITED - Environmental Compliance Approval (air)
A fire sprinkler component manufacturer wants approval to release metal particles into the air at its Mississauga facility. The company uses plasma cutting, grinding, and welding to make custom sprinkler parts. Emissions include chromium, manganese, nickel, and other metals.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Gana Court in Mississauga? This facility would release metal particles from welding and cutting operations. Chromium and nickel compounds can affect air quality in the immediate area.
What Could Change
If approved, National Fire Fabrication would be authorized to emit chromium, manganese, nickel, and other metal contaminants from its manufacturing processes. The permit would set limits on allowable emissions and may require monitoring.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be approved to emit metal contaminants including chromium and nickel compounds?
- What conditions should be placed on air emissions from plasma cutting, grinding, and welding operations?
