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 an air and noise permit for its Mississauga facility. The plant uses plasma cutting, grinding, and welding to make custom sprinkler parts. These processes release metals like chromium, manganese, and nickel into the air.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Gana Court in Mississauga? This permit would allow metal particles to be released into your air. Chromium and nickel compounds can pose health risks with long-term exposure.
What Could Change
If approved, National Fire Fabrication could operate plasma cutters, grinders, and welders at this location. The permit would set limits on how much chromium, manganese, nickel, and other metals can be released. Noise limits would also apply.
Key Issues
- Should this facility be permitted to release chromium, nickel, and other metal compounds into the air?
- Are the proposed emission controls adequate to protect nearby residents and workers?
